Nisemonogatari
In Bakemonogatari, the story centers on Koyomi Araragi, a third year high school student who has recently survived a vampire attack, and finds himself mixed up with all kinds of apparitions: gods, ghosts, myths, and spirits. However, in Nisemonogatari, we pick up right where we left off and follow Koyomi as the psychological twists delve deeper and deeper…

[00:09] Araragi
I apologize for this jarring and
unexpected development,
[00:13] Araragi
but it appears I have been kidnapped.
[00:16] Araragi
This happened ten days into
summer vacation, on July 29th.
[00:24] Araragi
No, it's possible that it's already the 30th.
[00:39] Senjougahara
Oh, you're awake, Araragi-kun.
[00:42] Senjougahara
I'm glad.
[00:44] Senjougahara
I was worried you might have died.
[00:51] Senjougahara
Are you all right?
[00:52] Senjougahara
Does the back of your head hurt?
[00:53] Araragi
Senjougahara,
[00:54] Araragi
remove these handcuffs.
[00:55] Senjougahara
No.
[00:58] Araragi
I knew it! You did this!
[01:00] Senjougahara
I see...
[01:01] Senjougahara
Interesting theory,
[01:03] Senjougahara
assuming you have proof.
[01:05] Araragi
I guessed the minute I saw you chose
to confine me at this cram school.
[01:09] Araragi
Now take off the handcuffs!
[01:10] Senjougahara
No.
[01:12] Senjougahara
No.
[01:13] Senjougahara
Also, I can't.
I've thrown away the key.
[01:15] Araragi
Seriously?
[01:17] Senjougahara
I also threw away the antidote.
[01:18] Araragi
You poisoned me, too?!
[01:21] Senjougahara
That was a lie.
[01:23] Senjougahara
Though it might come true
if you don't do as I say.
[01:27] Senjougahara
Float like a butterfly,
sting like a butterfly!
[01:30] Araragi
Butterflies don't sting!
[01:32] Senjougahara
I said it wrong.
[01:34] Senjougahara
Good for you, to be able
to point out my mistake.
[01:36] Senjougahara
Take pride in this moment forever.
[01:38] Araragi
What's this new, avant-garde method
of admitting your mistakes?
[01:40] Senjougahara
The correct word was "bee."
[01:42] Araragi
Bee poison is strong, isn't it?
[01:45] Senjougahara
Don't worry.
[01:46] Senjougahara
Araragi-kun,
[01:47] Senjougahara
I'll protect you.
[01:50] Senjougahara
You won't die.
[01:52] Senjougahara
Because I'll protect you.
[01:53] Araragi
I'd prefer to enjoy this conversation
[01:56] Araragi
with no unnecessary Evangelion references.
[01:58] Araragi
And, um, Gahara-san?
[02:01] Araragi
I'm hungry...
[02:03] Araragi
And kinda thirsty.
[02:05] Araragi
Want to get something to eat?
[02:08] Senjougahara
I expected a wormlike fool like
yourself might say that,
[02:11] Senjougahara
so I brought several items with me.
[02:13] Araragi
Did you?
[02:15] Araragi
Then give me something to drink.
[02:26] Senjougahara
You want something to drink?
[02:27] Araragi
Well, I guess...
[02:30] Senjougahara
But I'm going to drink it.
[02:38] Senjougahara
It's good.
[02:41] Senjougahara
What's with that look of longing?
[02:43] Senjougahara
No one said they were giving it to you.
[02:47] Senjougahara
Or did you think I'd feed it
to you, mouth-to-mouth?
[02:50] Senjougahara
My, Araragi-kun...
[02:51] Senjougahara
You're so naughty.
[02:53] Araragi
In this situation, only Kanbaru
would come up with that!
[02:56] Senjougahara
Yeah?
[02:57] Senjougahara
But what about when I
made out with you?
[03:00] Araragi
Don't bring that up, in this setting!
[03:04] Senjougahara
All right, then.
[03:05] Senjougahara
If you absolutely must
drink it, I'll let you.
[03:08] Araragi
I absolutely must drink it.
[03:10] Senjougahara
Has this man no pride?
[03:13] Senjougahara
To say something so humiliating,
from a simple desire for water.
[03:17] Senjougahara
Wouldn't it be better for you,
if you died?
[03:20] Araragi
She really seems to be enjoying this.
[03:21] Senjougahara
Very well.
[03:22] Senjougahara
Since you're so insistent,
[03:23] Senjougahara
so pathetic, that I can't
bear to look at you,
[03:25] Senjougahara
I'll give you some water,
out of sympathy.
[03:27] Senjougahara
Be grateful,
[03:28] Senjougahara
water-drinking bird.
[03:29] Araragi
"Water-drinking bird" isn't
really an insult, is it?
[03:41] Senjougahara
Lick it.
[03:43] Senjougahara
What's wrong?
[03:45] Senjougahara
You're thirsty, aren't you?
[03:46] Senjougahara
So stretch out your tongue,
[03:48] Senjougahara
and naughtily lick it, like a giraffe.
[03:51] Araragi
Hey, Senjougahara.
[03:52] Senjougahara
What?
[03:53] Senjougahara
Aren't you thirsty?
[03:56] Senjougahara
Or was that a lie?
[03:58] Senjougahara
Liars should be punished.
[04:01] Araragi
I'll lick it!
[04:01] Araragi
I'll totally lick it!
[04:02] Araragi
Please let me lick it!
[04:05] Senjougahara
How pathetic.
[04:06] Senjougahara
The ultimate in pathetic.
[04:08] Senjougahara
No normal person would do this,
just for some water.
[04:10] Senjougahara
I'm sure you're
[04:12] Senjougahara
a pervert who just enjoys licking
girls' fingers, right?
[04:16] Araragi
Senjougahara-san was enjoying herself
so much, I thought she'd explode.
[04:20] Senjougahara
It's such a wonderful picture, I want to
set it as my cell phone wallpaper.
[04:24] Araragi
Yeah? Glad to hear it.
[04:27] Araragi
Then, next I'd like a rice ball.
[04:29] Senjougahara
All right.
[04:29] Senjougahara
I'm in one of my rare generous moods.
[04:32] Senjougahara
What do you want in it?
[04:33] Araragi
It doesn't matter.
[04:34] Senjougahara
An apathetic reply.
[04:35] Senjougahara
Do you prefer bread?
[04:37] Araragi
That's not really it.
[04:39] Araragi
And as near as I can tell,
you haven't bought any bread.
[04:42] Senjougahara
That's true.
[04:42] Senjougahara
I only brought rice balls.
[04:44] Araragi
I won't request something you don't have.
[04:45] Senjougahara
If you have no bread to eat,
then you can eat cake.
[04:48] Araragi
Too tyrannical...
[04:49] Senjougahara
I was raised amidst butterflies and bees.
[04:53] Araragi
That should be "and flowers"!
SIGN The right answer
SIGN Time Passes
[05:01] Senjougahara
I hadn't much time today, so I got
lunch from a convenience store.
[05:04] Senjougahara
But don't worry, Araragi-kun.
[05:06] Senjougahara
Starting tomorrow, I'll make
your lunch myself.
[05:09] Araragi
What is this?
[05:11] Araragi
Her motives remain unclear.
[05:14] Araragi
Oh, right.
[05:15] Araragi
Her motives are totally clear.
[05:17] Senjougahara
Don't worry.
[05:19] Senjougahara
Araragi-kun,
[05:20] Senjougahara
I'll protect you.
[05:21] Araragi
To protect me, right?
[05:24] Araragi
She's serious.
[05:25] Araragi
Probably.
[05:29] Araragi
By the way, Senjougahara.
[05:31] Araragi
How am I supposed to use
the bathroom here?
[05:34] Senjougahara
Don't worry.
[05:36] Senjougahara
I'll change your diaper.
[05:39] Senjougahara
Didn't you know?
[05:40] Senjougahara
I love you, Araragi-kun.
[05:43] Senjougahara
So much that I could embrace you
without hesitation,
[05:46] Senjougahara
even if you were entirely
covered in feces.
[05:48] Senjougahara
Including your brain,
I will manage your entire body,
[05:51] Senjougahara
from ingestion to excretion.
[05:54] Araragi
Her love is too extreme!

[07:34] Araragi
Over summer break,
I'm being tutored each day,
SIGN 7/29 Saturday
[07:38] Araragi
except for Sundays, by Senjougahara.
[07:40] Araragi
And also by Hanekawa,
[07:43] Araragi
who has some of the school's best grades.
[07:47] Araragi
But on that Saturday, July 29th,

Hanekawa, with whom I was to study...

[07:51] Hanekawa
"Something that I absolutely
can't avoid came up.
[07:53] Hanekawa
I'll make it up to you
[07:55] Hanekawa
in exactly two days!"
SIGN Black Scene
[07:58] Araragi
And so, I'm bored.
[08:04] Karen
Oh, Onii-chan...
[08:07] Karen
Don't you have your tutoring today?
[08:09] Araragi
Yeah.
[08:10] Araragi
Hey, where is she?
[08:12] Tsukihi
She?
[08:13] Araragi
My bigger little sister.
[08:14] Tsukihi
Karen-chan's out.
[08:17] Araragi
Don't get into any trouble, you two.
[08:19] Tsukihi
I resent that.
We aren't planning anything.
[08:22] Tsukihi
You're always this way.
[08:23] Tsukihi
You always treat us like children.
[08:26] Tsukihi
You worry too much.
[08:28] Araragi
I'm not worried.
[08:29] Araragi
I just don't trust you.
[08:31] Tsukihi
Aren't those the same thing?
[08:32] Araragi
No.
[08:33] Araragi
Worry and trust are two
entirely different things.
[08:37] Tsukihi
They're both just words...
[08:43] Araragi
Don't stop talking halfway through!
[08:45] Araragi
So, where'd the bigger little sister go?
[08:48] Tsukihi
I told you, she isn't in any trouble.
[08:50] Tsukihi
In fact, she went to go help
people out of trouble.
[08:53] Araragi
That's trouble.
[08:55] Tsukihi
Onii-chan, don't interfere in
middle school kids' fights.
[08:59] Tsukihi
It's lame.
[09:00] Tsukihi
In their own way,
[09:02] Tsukihi
fights are also a valid form
of communication.
[09:04] Araragi
Well, it sounds right when
you put it like that.
[09:09] Tsukihi
It isn't that fights per se are wrong.
[09:10] Tsukihi
It's that people simply don't know
the proper way to fight.
SIGN Fights
[09:13] Araragi
But the fights you two get involved with
[09:15] Araragi
are always violent.
[09:18] Araragi
I refuse to believe that's
the right way to fight.
[09:22] Tsukihi
Just shut up!
[09:24] Tsukihi
I don't know!
[09:25] Tsukihi
I don't know anything!
[09:27] Tsukihi
I don't know what's going on with
the bigger sister, the littler sister,
[09:30] Tsukihi
or the middle sister!
[09:32] Araragi
I don't have a middle sister...
[09:35] Araragi
This is why worrying about you
isn't ever worth it.
[09:38] Araragi
Jeez...
[09:40] Araragi
I won't tell you to grow up,
[09:42] Araragi
but at least keep quiet.
[09:44] Tsukihi
I don't want to hear that from you.
[09:50] Araragi
Well, I suppose that of the two,
[09:52] Araragi
the latter is more difficult.
[09:54] Araragi
Anyone can grow up, just by aging.
[09:58] Araragi
But still, I wouldn't want them
as quiet as Sengoku.
[10:02] Araragi
Oh, right. Sengoku...
SIGN Flashback
[10:04] Sengoku
Come over to my house next time.
[10:07] Araragi
Sure.
SIGN Black Scene
[10:10] Araragi
Come to think of it,
[10:11] Araragi
it's been quite a while since that.
[10:14] Araragi
This is a good chance...
[10:15] Sengoku
H-Hello?!
[10:17] Sengoku
This is Sengoku!
[10:18] Sengoku
Koyomi-oniichan, it's been a while.
[10:20] Sengoku
What's up?
[10:22] Araragi
Sorry it's so abrupt,
[10:24] Araragi
but remember when I said I'd come over?
[10:27] Araragi
I was wondering if today might be good.
[10:30] Araragi
If it isn't a good day...
[10:32] Sengoku
No...
[10:33] Sengoku
Today, today, today!
[10:34] Sengoku
Actually, I'm busy every day but today.
[10:36] Araragi
I see.
[10:37] Araragi
If you're busy every day but today,
[10:39] Araragi
today is our only option.
[10:41] Araragi
How about now?
[10:42] Sengoku
Sure!
[10:43] Sengoku
Actually, no time but now will work.
[10:44] Araragi
Then I'll come over now.
[10:50] Araragi
Hey! So...
[10:52] Tsukihi
Bye!
[10:53] Tsukihi
I'll watch the house.
[10:54] Araragi
No, you're coming, as well.
[10:58] Araragi
We're going to Sengoku's,
so of course you're coming.
[11:00] Tsukihi
I thought for sure you'd go alone.
[11:03] Tsukihi
And I'm certain that's what
Sen-chan is thinking...
[11:06] Araragi
Really?
[11:07] Araragi
No way.
[11:09] Tsukihi
Go by yourself.
[11:10] Tsukihi
I'm sure she'd prefer that.
SIGN Anyway
[11:13] Tsukihi
Anyway...
[11:14] Tsukihi
I won't interfere with a
friend's feeling of love.
[11:17] Tsukihi
Even if it's unrequited.
SIGN Love?
[11:20] Araragi
Come?
[11:21] Araragi
She never said she'd love
for me to come over.
[11:24] Araragi
She just asked me to.
[11:26] Araragi
Unlike you two, she's polite.
[11:29] Tsukihi
By the way, Onii-chan...
[11:31] Tsukihi
Do you believe that boys and
girls can be friends?
[11:34] Araragi
Sure.
[11:35] Araragi
I'm Sengoku's friend!
[11:37] Tsukihi
I see.
[11:38] Tsukihi
Then I guess that works.
[11:40] Tsukihi
Anyway, get going.
[11:42] Araragi
Fine.
[11:44] Araragi
Then I'll go on my own.
[11:45] Araragi
Watch the house while I'm gone.
[11:47] Araragi
See you...
[11:48] Tsukihi
One last thing, before you go.
[11:51] Tsukihi
You've totally
[11:52] Tsukihi
stopped brawling with Karen-chan.
[11:56] Tsukihi
How come?
[11:59] Araragi
Lately, she's gotten too good at karate.
[12:02] Araragi
Like, way too good.
[12:04] Araragi
I'd lose in a straight-up fight.
[12:06] Araragi
Even though she's taller,
[12:08] Araragi
I should still be stronger.
[12:10] Araragi
But I guess I can't defeat a
martial arts practitioner.
[12:14] Tsukihi
Even if that explains things
with Karen-chan,
[12:16] Tsukihi
when I freaked out a minute ago,
you backed off.
[12:19] Tsukihi
Dealing with you has gotten a lot easier.
[12:22] Araragi
Well, I guess so.
[12:23] Tsukihi
I mean, from our perspective,
[12:26] Tsukihi
it's good, because it's
easier to get our way.
[12:29] Tsukihi
But you know,
[12:31] Tsukihi
really...
[12:33] Tsukihi
Don't just grow up and leave us behind.
[12:35] Tsukihi
It'd be boring that way...
[12:42] Araragi
Actually, you guys never knew this,
[12:45] Araragi
but I turned into a vampire.
[12:46] Araragi
Well, I turned back.
[12:50] Araragi
But it changed me.
So it's possible...
[12:52] Araragi
And I mean possible, not certain,
[12:54] Araragi
that if I got into a real fight with you,
SIGN Red Scene
[12:57] Araragi
I could end up killing you both.
[12:59] Araragi
So I'm trying to avoid that.
[13:01] Araragi
How am I supposed to tell them that?
[13:07] Araragi
Hey, it's Hachikuji.
SIGN Black Scene
SIGN Hachikuji 5-3
[13:18] Araragi
But I promised to go to Sengoku's...
[13:21] Araragi
And I don't really like that elementary school brat, anyway.
[13:27] Araragi
Honest, I don't like her.
[13:29] Araragi
I hate her.
[13:30] Araragi
We're not even close enough that
I'd talk to her if I saw her.
[13:34] Araragi
But yeah, I guess as a high schooler,
[13:37] Araragi
it's kind of sad for me to act that way
toward an elementary school girl.
[13:41] Araragi
Honestly, I'm not happy to see her at all.
[13:44] Araragi
But I suppose a bare minimum of courtesy
[13:46] Araragi
demands that I maintain appearances.
[13:48] Araragi
I'm such a sap.
[14:01] Araragi
Hachikuji!
[14:03] Araragi
I've missed you...
[14:06] Araragi
I haven't seen you,
[14:08] Araragi
so I thought you'd moved away!
[14:10] Araragi
And I was so worried...
[14:12] Araragi
So let me touch you more.
[14:14] Araragi
Let me hug you more...
[14:15] Araragi
Let me lick you more!
[14:17] Araragi
Come on, stay put!
[14:18] Araragi
It makes removing your panties harder!
[14:23] Araragi
What are you doing?
[14:27] Araragi
W-Wait, Hachikuji!
[14:30] Araragi
Look, it's me!
[14:36] Hachikuji
It's Araragi...
[14:37] Hachikuji
Yomiko-san!
[14:39] Araragi
That's depressingly close.
[14:41] Araragi
But, Hachikuji,
[14:43] Araragi
I'd prefer you not call me the name
of a paper-using secret agent
[14:45] Araragi
for the British Library who lives in a
book-filled Jinbouchou building.
[14:49] Araragi
My name is Araragi Koyomi.
SIGN Excepting Light Vehicles
[14:53] Hachikuji
But that aside, Araragi-san,
[14:55] Hachikuji
where are you going today?
[14:57] Hachikuji
Nowhere special...
SIGN Excepting Boys
[14:59] Hachikuji
Searching for new Araragi harem members?
[15:01] Araragi
I never founded any such creepy group!
[15:04] Hachikuji
An original member,
[15:05] Hachikuji
Oshino-san, has graduated now...
[15:07] Hachikuji
It'll be a difficult gap to fill.
[15:11] Araragi
Even assuming this so-called
Araragi harem's existence,
[15:13] Araragi
why would Oshino be a member?
SIGN No Old Men Allowed
[15:16] Araragi
He's an old guy in a floral shirt!
[15:17] Hachikuji
Add too many members,
[15:19] Hachikuji
and the story will be hard to follow.
SIGN Watch for Bears
[15:20] Hachikuji
So be careful.
[15:23] Araragi
Well, I told you about Sengoku right?
[15:26] Araragi
A girl I used to know...
[15:28] Araragi
I'm going over to her place today.
[15:31] Hachikuji
Given that, you seemed rather unhappy.
[15:33] Araragi
Did I?
[15:34] Araragi
I looked that unhappy?
[15:36] Hachikuji
Yeah!
[15:37] Hachikuji
Like a story that's gotten a lot of
mileage from jokes about how
[15:41] Hachikuji
it'll never be animated,
due to some screw-up.
[15:44] Hachikuji
You had an awkwardness that
was reminiscent of that.
[15:47] Araragi
My face was hardly that specific!
[15:49] Hachikuji
Well, I can understand that you'd be
wary of unexpected happiness.
[15:53] Hachikuji
But any time you enter a new arena,
[15:55] Hachikuji
there's something to be gained.
[15:57] Araragi
Something to be gained? Like what?
[16:00] Hachikuji
In a word...
[16:01] Hachikuji
Money.
[16:02] Araragi
No, aren't there other things?
[16:05] Hachikuji
Is there really anything else in the world?
[16:07] Araragi
Sure!
[16:08] Araragi
Like you know...
[16:10] Araragi
Love!
SIGN Love
[16:10] Hachikuji
Huh? Love?
[16:12] Hachikuji
Oh, yeah! I know love.
[16:13] Hachikuji
The convenience store was selling it.
SIGN Love, Now On Sale
[16:15] Araragi
They were selling it?!
At the convenience store?
[16:17] Hachikuji
Yup, for 298 yen.
[16:19] Araragi
A bargain!
[16:20] Hachikuji
Talk of money aside, Araragi-san,
[16:22] Hachikuji
I've been looking forward to this.
[16:25] Hachikuji
What kind of dance will
we do during the ED?
[16:28] Araragi
It's a given that we're dancing?
[16:30] Hachikuji
I'm hoping for something like in Cat's Eye,
[16:32] Hachikuji
nice and sexy!
[16:33] Araragi
You're okay with just silhouettes?!
[16:36] Araragi
Anyway, that's not it, Hachikuji.
[16:38] Araragi
Oh, right... I guess I can tell you.
[16:41] Araragi
You know I'm actually a vampire, right?
[16:45] Hachikuji
I see, Shuraragi-san.
[16:46] Araragi
That name's pretty cool,
[16:48] Araragi
and honestly, I'd like to change mine to it.
[16:50] Araragi
But Hachikuji,
[16:50] Araragi
I've told you over and over,
[16:52] Araragi
my name is Araragi.
[16:54] Hachikuji
Sorry! I bit my tongue.
[16:55] Araragi
No, you did it deliberately.
[16:57] Hachikuji
I bwit my twongue!
[16:58] Araragi
It wasn't deliberate?
[16:59] Hachikuji
Seen the Family Mart?
[17:00] Araragi
No, I don't know where the
convenience store is!
[17:02] Araragi
Is it love?
[17:03] Araragi
Are you going to buy love?
[17:04] Araragi
For 298 yen?!
[17:07] Hachikuji
I see, a vampire.
[17:09] Hachikuji
But what about it?
[17:11] Araragi
Well, it's really hard to tell
[17:13] Araragi
my family about it, you know?
[17:16] Araragi
But I'm not sure it's something
I can hide forever.
[17:20] Hachikuji
I don't think it's really necessary
[17:23] Hachikuji
to just come out and tell them.
[17:25] Hachikuji
I think keeping a secret or two
from your family is natural.
[17:28] Araragi
Hachikuji?
[17:30] Hachikuji
For one thing, sharing your
secret with someone
[17:33] Hachikuji
means you involve them in your problems.
[17:36] Hachikuji
It may make things easier for you,
[17:39] Hachikuji
but your family could end up
suffering for it.
[17:43] Araragi
That's true, isn't it?
[17:45] Hachikuji
Right now, what you need is
[17:47] Hachikuji
the courage to keep your
secret to yourself!
[17:50] Araragi
That sounds very wise.
[17:51] Hachikuji
Well, I'm just making it sound positive
[17:54] Hachikuji
by adding the word "courage" to it.
[17:55] Hachikuji
Really, it's just a normal secret.
[17:57] Araragi
That sounds very honest!
[17:59] Hachikuji
You can make almost anything
[18:01] Hachikuji
sound positive by adding
the word "courage."
[18:03] Araragi
That can't be right.
[18:05] Araragi
I refuse to believe that Japanese
is structured that way.
[18:09] Hachikuji
Shall I demonstrate?
[18:11] Araragi
Bring it.
[18:15] Araragi
If you can satisfy me,
[18:18] Araragi
I'll do a handstand, right here.
[18:20] Hachikuji
A handstand?
[18:21] Araragi
Yes...
[18:22] Araragi
Like getting on your knees
to bow, but better.
[18:24] Araragi
And if you can't satisfy me,
[18:28] Araragi
then you have to do a handstand here,
[18:30] Araragi
wearing your skirt!
[18:31] Araragi
Your kiddy panties will be
exposed to public view,
[18:34] Araragi
until I allow you to stop!
[18:36] Hachikuji
Very well.
[18:37] Hachikuji
I accept your challenge.
[18:39] Araragi
I praise your guts, if nothing else.
[18:41] Hachikuji
You're like a phoenix
to the flame, Araragi-san.
[18:44] Araragi
No, I'm nothing as cool as that.
[18:48] Hachikuji
We'll start with warm-ups.
SIGN Courage Series
[18:50] Hachikuji
The courage to lie to your lover.
[18:53] Araragi
Not bad...
[18:54] Araragi
All you're doing is simply lying,
[18:57] Araragi
but tacking "courage" onto it
[18:59] Araragi
makes it sound like you're
lying for your lover's sake.
[19:01] Araragi
Even though she hasn't said
anything suggesting that.
[19:03] Hachikuji
The courage to betray your comrades.
[19:04] Araragi
What?!
[19:05] Araragi
Amazing...
[19:06] Araragi
The end result is that you've
betrayed your comrades.
[19:09] Araragi
But that gives the impression
[19:10] Araragi
that you've somehow protected them.
[19:12] Araragi
Even though she hasn't said
anything suggesting that!
[19:14] Hachikuji
The courage to be a lazy bum.
[19:15] Araragi
Wh-What?
[19:17] Araragi
It really can do anything!
[19:19] Araragi
You're just meaninglessly
whiling away your life,
[19:21] Araragi
but that makes it sound like you've
[19:23] Araragi
positioned yourself in poverty,
all for some greater goal.
[19:25] Araragi
Even though she hasn't said anything,
[19:26] Araragi
anything at all, suggesting that!
[19:28] Araragi
B-But I cannot admit defeat here!
[19:31] Hachikuji
The courage to admit defeat.
[19:33] Araragi
I admit my defeat!
[19:35] Araragi
I was lulled by the awesomeness of the words
[19:37] Araragi
into admitting my own defeat!
[19:39] Araragi
And all I did was admit defeat...
[19:41] Araragi
Japanese is really simple!
[19:43] Hachikuji
Now, Araragi-san.
[19:44] Hachikuji
Show me something better than
getting on your knees to bow.
[19:46] Araragi
Very well...
[19:48] Araragi
I have the courage to do a handstand!
[19:54] Hachikuji
Seeing someone your age doing a
handstand is actually kind of pathetic...
[19:58] Hachikuji
You can stop.
[20:01] Hachikuji
I said you could stop, Araragi-san.
[20:05] Hachikuji
Actually, please stop, Araragi-san.
[20:07] Hachikuji
I'm embarrassed, just being next to you.
[20:11] Hachikuji
Why continue your handstand,
[20:12] Hachikuji
as if it were a promise made in response
to a friend's last request?
[20:16] Araragi
Well, you know...
[20:18] Araragi
I was just thinking
[20:20] Araragi
that if I stood on my hands,
[20:22] Araragi
from this angle, I can see your panties.
[20:27] Hachikuji
Araragi-san, you are a pervert!
[20:29] Araragi
The courage to accept the label of pervert!
[20:32] Hachikuji
So cool!
[20:34] Hachikuji
So cool, I'm tempted to have the courage
to show you my panties as you wish!
[20:38] Hachikuji
Especially the way you continue,
[20:39] Hachikuji
even after I kicked you in the face!
[20:42] Hachikuji
I can't believe the technology I developed
[20:45] Hachikuji
has now been turned against me...
[20:47] Hachikuji
So ironic.
[20:49] Araragi
You grew overconfident, Hachikuji!
[20:51] Araragi
I have mastered your secret technique!
[20:54] Hachikuji
Oh, no.
[20:56] Hachikuji
I may have created a monster!
[21:00] Araragi
But I do apologize for
calling them kiddy panties.
[21:03] Araragi
I never expected
[21:04] Araragi
you'd be wearing
semi-transparent black panties.
[21:08] Hachikuji
What are you saying?
[21:09] Hachikuji
Take a closer look!
[21:10] Hachikuji
Don't say that!
[21:11] Hachikuji
It'll ruin my image!
[21:13] Hachikuji
I've responded to consumer demand,
and am wearing kiddy panties!
[21:16] Hachikuji
They have a bunny on them, right?
[21:18] Araragi
I can't see any bunnies.
[21:20] Araragi
If you want me to see them,
you have to make it easier.
[21:23] Hachikuji
L-Like this?
[21:26] Hachikuji
Like this?
[21:34] Araragi
Oh, yeah.
[21:35] Araragi
We were talking about the need
[21:37] Araragi
to keep the supernatural a secret, right?
[21:39] Hachikuji
You see, Araragi-san,
[21:41] Hachikuji
in a way, the supernatural is
what's behind the curtain.
[21:44] Araragi
Behind the curtain?
[21:46] Hachikuji
Normally, you only need to see
what's happening on stage.
[21:49] Hachikuji
That's how reality works.
[21:51] Hachikuji
If you don't know,
[21:52] Hachikuji
then it's best that you don't.
[21:54] Hachikuji
Actually, learning about the supernatural
[21:56] Hachikuji
only increases the number
of things you don't know.
[21:59] Araragi
I see.
[22:01] Hachikuji
So, Araragi-san...
[22:02] Hachikuji
If your family should ever
[22:05] Hachikuji
find themselves unfortunately backstage,
[22:08] Hachikuji
you can guide them out.
[22:11] Hachikuji
But until then,
the answer is to do nothing.
[22:14] Araragi
I see.
[22:16] Araragi
Anyway, we've been talking a while.
[22:19] Araragi
Sorry for stopping you, Hachikuji.
[22:21] Hachikuji
It's fine.
[22:23] Hachikuji
I'm always basically lost.
[22:26] Araragi
That's not...
[22:27] Hachikuji
In a way,
[22:28] Hachikuji
I guess I was just walking around, saying,
[22:31] Hachikuji
"Isn't Araragi-san's house here?
[22:32] Hachikuji
I haven't seen him in a while!
[22:34] Hachikuji
Maybe I can see him again."
[22:37] Araragi
Yeah...
[22:38] Araragi
Well, bye!
[22:39] Hachikuji
Yeah, let's meet again.
[22:43] Araragi
Hey, Hachikuji.
[22:46] Araragi
You aren't going to disappear, are you?
[22:50] Araragi
Because, you know, Oshino's gone.
[22:53] Araragi
I just wondered if you were going
to vanish like he did.
[22:57] Hachikuji
You spend so much time
worrying about others,
[23:00] Hachikuji
the only people you foist
[23:03] Hachikuji
your problems on are Shinobu-san and me.
[23:08] Hachikuji
I'm honored, really...
[23:11] Araragi
Hachikuji...
[23:12] Hachikuji
Then let me ask you
a question, Araragi-san.
[23:15] Hachikuji
If I'm ever in really bad trouble again,
[23:18] Hachikuji
would you help me?
[23:21] Araragi
Sure, I would.
[23:22] Araragi
Of course I would.
[23:23] Araragi
I won't give anyone else
enough time to save you.
[23:27] Hachikuji
I can talk to you about my problems?
[23:28] Araragi
If you don't, I'll get mad!
[23:33] Hachikuji
That's just like you.
[23:37] Hachikuji
I'm sure there's a reason that,
[23:39] Hachikuji
even after I stopped being lost,
[23:41] Hachikuji
I stayed here.
[23:43] Hachikuji
I won't leave until I know
what that reason is.
[23:47] Araragi
The reason, huh?
[23:49] Hachikuji
Well, even if I do go away someday,
[23:53] Hachikuji
before I do, I'll come to say goodbye.
[23:57] Araragi
I see...
SIGN Black Scene
[24:01] Araragi
Okay, then you do that.
[24:05] Hachikuji
Yeah.

I'd be scared of having you
mad at me, you know?

[00:01] Araragi
The older of my sisters, Araragi Karen...
[00:03] Araragi
A third-year in middle school.
[00:05] Araragi
Had a birthday at the end of June,
turning fifteen.
[00:08] Araragi
She's always been a tomboy
who excels at most sports.
[00:12] Araragi
But her talents seemed best suited to combat.
[00:16] Araragi
She earned her karate in black belt in record time.
[00:20] Araragi
She enjoyed fighting too much
to appear truly feminine.
[00:25] Araragi
I wouldn't call her manly,
[00:27] Araragi
but the aggressive look in her eye
makes her appear boyish.
[00:32] Araragi
And the younger of my sisters, Araragi Tsukihi...
[00:35] Araragi
A second-year in middle school.
[00:36] Araragi
Her birthday falls in early April,
[00:38] Araragi
which makes her fourteen now.
[00:40] Araragi
Karen is, well,
[00:42] Araragi
exactly what she looks like.
[00:44] Araragi
But Tsukihi's appearance
belies her true nature.
[00:47] Araragi
But what's important is that her true nature
does not belie her appearance.
[00:51] Araragi
She looks extremely feminine,
[00:54] Araragi
but her nature is even more
aggressive than Karen's.
[00:57] Araragi
And she's easily provoked.
[00:59] Araragi
Her fits could almost be called hysterics.

Wh-What do you mean?
[06:33] Araragi
I mean anything like what
happened before.
[06:36] Sengoku
No, I've been fine.
[06:38] Araragi
I see.
[06:39] Sengoku
But there's some weird charm
circulating, as usual.
[06:44] Araragi
At your school?
[06:45] Sengoku
Yeah, but not just at my school.
[06:48] Sengoku
Among all the middle schoolers.
[06:51] Sengoku
I think Rara-chan and the others
are up to something.
[06:55] Araragi
Up to something?
[06:57] Sengoku
When I talked to Rara-chan a while ago,
[06:59] Sengoku
she asked about what happened
with the snake.
[07:02] Sengoku
And since I couldn't tell her the truth,
[07:06] Sengoku
I didn't say too much.
[07:09] Sengoku
But she was getting others to
help her investigate stuff.
[07:13] Araragi
In other words,
[07:13] Araragi
it has to do with that charm.
[07:16] Araragi
But to be precise, that whole
[07:19] Araragi
curse was basically nonsense, right?
[07:21] Araragi
In your case, you just chose the
wrong way to handle it.
[07:25] Sengoku
Yeah.
[07:26] Sengoku
I was the only one
[07:27] Sengoku
for whom anything actually
manifested that way, I think.
[07:34] Sengoku
But that's just a guess.
[07:35] Araragi
Then...
[07:36] Sengoku
I don't think they're worried about the curse actually working.
[07:41] Sengoku
I think they probably
[07:44] Sengoku
don't even believe in the supernatural.
[07:47] Araragi
Yeah, I'm sure.
[07:49] Sengoku
It seems like they're more concerned
[07:52] Sengoku
with the fact that nonsense of
that sort is going around.
[07:56] Sengoku
They said they're trying to discover
[07:59] Sengoku
who's spreading it.
[08:01] Araragi
No one's trying to spread it.
[08:04] Araragi
And even should they find someone,
[08:07] Araragi
now that it's spread, it isn't
their responsibility.
[08:09] Sengoku
That's just Rara-chan...
Or rather, the Fire Sisters.
[08:14] Sengoku
They seemed on the verge of saying
[08:18] Sengoku
that someone had deliberately spread
the charm for their own reasons.
[08:25] Araragi
That sounds just like them...
[08:27] Araragi
Sheesh.
[08:28] Araragi
I'm gonna have to talk to Karen.
[08:32] Araragi
It isn't something I have
to get involved in...
[08:35] Araragi
But given the percent
[08:36] Araragi
of Sengoku Nadeko involved, it's delicate.
[08:41] Sengoku
K-Koyomi-oniichan?
[08:43] Araragi
It's nothing!
[08:44] Araragi
I'm fine, Sengoku.
[08:46] Araragi
Anyway, Sengoku...
[08:48] Araragi
You look better that way.
[08:51] Araragi
I mean your bangs.

But if you want me to...
[09:01] Sengoku
I'll do my best.
[09:02] Araragi
Yeah, doing your best is always good.
[09:04] Araragi
Anyway, we're almost done
with the Game of Life.
[09:08] Araragi
What do you want to do after this?
[09:10] Sengoku
Twister!
[09:13] Araragi
I don't know Twister.
[09:14] Araragi
How do you play? Show me.
[09:16] Sengoku
Okay, I'll show you...
[09:18] Sengoku
I'll show your body.

[09:24] Araragi
I can't wait!
[09:27] Araragi
After that, Sengoku's mom
suddenly came home.
[09:30] Sengoku
I-I didn't tell them you
were coming over!
[09:35] Sengoku
She'll get mad! She'll get mad!
[09:37] Sengoku
If she sees me dressed this way,
she'll think I'm a pervert...
[09:45] Araragi
I wonder why...
[09:47] Araragi
I think the fact that there was
a problem at her mom's workplace
[09:50] Araragi
saved something important
for me, as a man.
[09:56] Araragi
It was supposed to be
tomorrow, but eh...
[10:00] Suruga
This is Kanbaru Suruga!
[10:02] Suruga
Kanbaru Suruga...
[10:04] Suruga
Primary weapon, accelerator.
[10:05] Araragi
You're a cyborg?!
[10:08] Suruga
That voice and joke...
[10:10] Suruga
It's you, Araragi-sempai.
[10:10] Araragi
Yeah, but...
[10:12] Araragi
Hey, you're at home, right?
[10:15] Suruga
Yes, I am.
[10:16] Suruga
Would you wait a minute, Araragi-sempai?
[10:19] Suruga
I'll take my clothes off, right now.
[10:21] Araragi
Why?
[10:23] Suruga
What are you talking about,
Araragi-sempai?
[10:26] Suruga
It may be over the phone,
but I'm still speaking to you.
[10:29] Suruga
Thus, courtesy dictates that
I must be naked.
[10:32] Araragi
Don't speak as though I've
never heard of courtesy.
[10:36] Araragi
And stop trying to find excuses to strip!
[10:39] Suruga
You've underestimated me.
[10:40] Suruga
I guess you don't understand
how fast I really am.
[10:45] Suruga
I'm already naked!
[10:47] Araragi
Already naked?
[10:48] Araragi
Your perversion has finally gone further
[10:50] Araragi
than I'm willing to go, Kanbaru!
[10:52] Suruga
Oh, my...
[10:54] Suruga
This is my house, and this is my room.
[10:57] Suruga
No matter what I may wear or don't,
[10:58] Suruga
that's a decision for me, and no one else.
[11:01] Araragi
You're right.
[11:02] Araragi
Sorry.
[11:04] Araragi
You weren't getting naked
outside or anything.
[11:06] Araragi
I'm sorry for yelling.
[11:07] Suruga
No, so long as you understand, it's fine.
[11:10] Suruga
No matter how liberated I feel when naked,
[11:13] Suruga
I only go outside naked occasionally.
[11:16] Araragi
You do it occasionally?!
[11:17] Suruga
Like in a bath.
[11:20] Suruga
Or with the basketball team...
[11:21] Araragi
You won't trick me this time...
[11:23] Araragi
I bet it was at the bath,
during your team trip, right?
[11:25] Suruga
Close.
[11:26] Suruga
It was on our trip.
[11:29] Suruga
During the summer of our first year,
I led a naked team trip.
[11:33] Araragi
I hope your team gets banned!
[11:35] Suruga
What's wrong, Araragi-sempai?
[11:38] Suruga
It was obviously a joke.
[11:40] Suruga
For you to believe such an obvious lie,
[11:42] Suruga
you may be even dirtier than I am.
[11:46] Araragi
Wh-What?
SIGN Black Scene
[11:49] Suruga
What's wrong, Kanbaru?

I accidentally forgot to close
the partition to my room...

[11:54] Suruga
And my grandmother came
down the hallway.
[11:58] Suruga
She looked at me with sad eyes,
[12:02] Suruga
and passed me without missing a step!
[12:06] Araragi
Well, the granddaughter she
raised was on the phone,
[12:09] Araragi
while stark naked.
[12:12] Suruga
My life is over...
[12:14] Suruga
How can I ever talk to her again?
[12:17] Araragi
Hey, Kanbaru.
[12:19] Araragi
Sorry to interrupt your emotional trauma,
[12:21] Araragi
but I unexpectedly have the
day off from my test prep.
[12:24] Araragi
I know I promised to help clean
your room tomorrow.
[12:28] Araragi
But how about today?
[12:29] Suruga
Sure...
[12:30] Suruga
That's fine.

Whatever day is best for you.

Then I'll be right there.

I thought it was an enemy.

Do you have enemies?
[13:13] Araragi
Jeez.
[13:14] Araragi
Doing handstands that way, in public...
[13:17] Araragi
Don't you have any dignity?
[13:19] Araragi
You should act more like a girl
who's going through puberty.
[13:22] Araragi
What if you get a reputation?
[13:24] Karen
I'm not sure I follow,
[13:27] Karen
but I think you're trying to avoid
talking about yourself.
[13:30] Araragi
I'm not doing that at all.
[13:32] Araragi
What are you doing out here?
[13:35] Karen
Community service.
[13:36] Karen
Just a bit of volunteer work.
[13:38] Araragi
Volunteer work?
[13:40] Araragi
You don't even know what
that word means, idiot.
[13:50] Karen
What are you doing, Nii-chan?!
[13:52] Karen
That's dangerous.
[13:53] Araragi
What's dangerous is what you're doing.
[13:55] Araragi
And what are you doing?
[13:58] Karen
I told you, community service.
[14:00] Karen
Who do you think I am?

I don't know.

How cool...
[14:13] Karen
Super-cool and perfect!
[14:14] Araragi
I guarantee that, if nothing else,
that pose is not cool at all.
[14:18] Karen
Well, I'm a brightly burning girl.
[14:19] Araragi
Burn to death.
SIGN Black Scene
[14:21] Araragi
But I will admit that I enjoy
the inherent humor
[14:25] Araragi
of saying cool things in
that ridiculous pose.
[14:27] Karen
I see, I see...
[14:29] Karen
Then we'll make it a running gag of mine.
[14:33] Araragi
Okay, let's practice.
[14:36] Araragi
Say something cool. Anything at all.
[14:39] Karen
If you wish to pass here, you must defeat me first!
[14:42] Araragi
Cooler than expected.
[14:44] Karen
And the reverse...
[14:45] Karen
Leave this to me. You go on ahead!
[14:50] Karen
Anyway,
[14:51] Karen
I'm busy with some stuff right now.
[14:56] Karen
Nii-chan, if you want to chat,
[14:58] Karen
we'll do it tonight with Tsukihi-chan.

Will that work?

Hello?
[15:08] Karen
Oh, yeah...

Nii-chan...
[15:18] Karen
It's okay.
[15:19] Karen
It looks like this really will be over soon.
[15:23] Karen
Seems I'll have a heroic tale
[15:26] Karen
to tell tonight!
[15:29] Araragi
Who'd listen to that?
[15:31] Araragi
The worst part of my day so far
[15:33] Araragi
is finding out that you've nearly
finished middle school,

but still walk on your hands through the city.

Oh, I apologize for this...
[16:11] Kanbaru
I'm embarrassed to be this way
in front of you.
[16:15] Kanbaru
But for you to open the partition
without knocking...
[16:19] Kanbaru
That isn't anything like the
Araragi-sempai I know,

the paragon of virtue.
[16:25] Araragi
Um, well...
[16:27] Araragi
I wanted to see you depressed...

Let's get married!
[16:57] Kanbaru
Wh-Why marriage?
[17:00] Araragi
Well, even if it was just your
back half, I saw you naked.
[17:03] Kanbaru
You're skipping a few steps there.
[17:06] Kanbaru
By that theory,
[17:07] Kanbaru
how many girls would you need to marry?

[17:16] Kanbaru
Araragi-sempai,
[17:18] Kanbaru
that's an extraordinarily attractive offer,
[17:21] Kanbaru
but you don't need to take responsibility.
[17:23] Kanbaru
If you did that, Senjougahara-sempai
would get mad at me.
[17:28] Kanbaru
Instead, Araragi-sempai,
I do have a request...
[17:32] Kanbaru
Would you fulfill it?
[17:35] Araragi
Sure, anything.
[17:37] Araragi
For today, I'm your slave!

Hey, Kanbaru.
[18:31] Araragi
Would you put this on?
[18:33] Kanbaru

I'm so erotic,
[18:57] Kanbaru
I thought that "peperoncino"
[19:00] Kanbaru
was a dirty word for years.

And I remember recently thinking
[19:18] Kanbaru
"bracelet" meant "let's take a breath."

[19:20] Araragi
That isn't erotic at all.
It's just a misunderstanding!

stunned expressions.

Maybe you aren't really a big pervert.
[20:39] Araragi
Don't all girls like handsome guys?
[20:43] Araragi
So it's natural to enjoy seeing
handsome guys together.
[20:46] Araragi
It's basically like an idol group, right?
[20:50] Kanbaru
P-Please don't use simplified examples!
[20:53] Araragi
It's not as though you only like guys
who weigh more than 150 kg,

being underdressed

at home is actually pretty normal...

And even outside, it's only in a bath, right?

I don't want you to apologize!
[21:20] Kanbaru

Yeah, let's!

Your cleaning skills are amazing.
[00:14] Kanbaru
Perhaps I make my room messy
[00:17] Kanbaru
just so I can see your skill.

I'd almost want you as my wife...
[00:27] Araragi
No,

I wouldn't want you for a husband.
[00:30] Kanbaru
Then you'll marry me?
[00:32] Araragi
If our positions were reversed.
[00:34] Araragi
But either way, Senjougahara would kill you.
[00:37] Araragi
Well, she'd probably kill me, too.

if I really pursued you, you couldn't refuse.

T-To marry?
[01:21] Kanbaru
Nope.
[01:23] Kanbaru
To be your mistress!
[01:25] Araragi
I would refuse!
[01:28] Kanbaru
It's easy for girls to
[01:30] Kanbaru
take advantage of your kindness,
so be careful.
[01:33] Kanbaru
That's what I mean.

But should you ever do anything to
hurt Senjougahara-sempai,
[01:46] Kanbaru
I'm certain I would...

Actually, if I married Hanekawa,
[01:55] Araragi
wouldn't Senjougahara kill her, too?
[01:58] Araragi
I wouldn't want that.
[02:00] Araragi
Didn't I tell you?
[02:01] Araragi
I'm more grateful to Hanekawa

No, that's not true, Araragi-sempai.
[02:50] Kanbaru
If you teach me, I can play!

It may surprise you,

but I'm good at learning
the rules to games.
[02:59] Kanbaru
What's wrong, Araragi-sempai?
[03:01] Kanbaru
This round, you're the parent.
[03:03] Araragi
Sorry...
[03:04] Araragi
I've got a four-hand.
[03:05] Araragi
That's six points.
SIGN Koyomi Suruga
[03:09] Araragi
So, yeah...
[03:11] Araragi
That was a rare hand, so let's end it here.
[03:13] Kanbaru
Wait! Grr...
[03:15] Kanbaru
We still have one match left.
[03:17] Araragi
Don't get so mad...
[03:19] Araragi
Bracelet! Bracelet!
[03:21] Araragi
It's just a game.
[03:22] Kanbaru
How can you win without
even taking it seriously?!
[03:25] Araragi
But I am winning.
[03:28] Araragi
It's just a game.
[03:30] Araragi
You should enjoy it...
[03:32] Araragi
For example, look at Sengoku.
[03:34] Araragi
She taught me something called "Twister."
[03:37] Araragi
She lost to a total newbie like me,
[03:39] Araragi
but she still seemed really happy.
[03:41] Kanbaru
Araragi-sempai,
[03:42] Kanbaru
it seems you've not yet recognized
[03:45] Kanbaru
the true final boss's existence.
[03:47] Araragi
What are you talking about?
[03:49] Kanbaru
Nothing.
[03:50] Kanbaru
It's not for me to say anything.
[04:00] Araragi
Kanbaru?
[04:01] Kanbaru
What is it, Araragi-sempai?
[04:03] Araragi
We should decide a punishment game first.
[04:05] Kanbaru
You're certainly in a hurry.
[04:06] Kanbaru
And I intend to ask for a sexual pact...
[04:09] Kanbaru
I mean, sexual act.
[04:12] Araragi
I see.
[04:12] Araragi
You can order me to die, if you want.
[04:14] Araragi
Never, ever, start gambling!
SIGN Episode 3: Karen Bee, Part 3
[05:53] Araragi
I asked Kanbaru about something
I'd been wondering...
[05:57] Araragi
What she tells her family
[05:59] Araragi
about her left arm.
[06:02] Kanbaru
I tell them it's injured.
[06:04] Kanbaru
I don't think it's something
I could really explain.
[06:08] Araragi
But does that work?
[06:10] Araragi
Unlike my vampirism,
[06:12] Araragi
your left arm is something they can see.
[06:16] Kanbaru
Well, my grandma and grandpa
[06:19] Kanbaru
do worry about me, naturally.
[06:22] Kanbaru
But despite everything,
what happened with
[06:25] Kanbaru
my mother puts a wall
between me and them.
[06:27] Kanbaru
So they never ask anything
[06:31] Kanbaru
I wouldn't want them to ask.
[06:37] Kanbaru
Either way, I only have to tolerate it
[06:39] Kanbaru
for a few more years.
[06:53] Kaiki
Are you a child from this household?
[06:55] Araragi
No...
[06:58] Araragi
Actually, I'm not.
[07:03] Kaiki
I apologize.
[07:05] Kaiki
I haven't introduced myself.
[07:07] Kaiki
The caution you've shown a total stranger
is extremely appropriate.
[07:11] Kaiki
Treasure it.
[07:14] Kaiki
My name is Kaiki.
[07:16] Araragi
Kaiki?
[07:17] Kaiki
Yes.
[07:18] Kaiki
"Kai," like a mound of clamshells.
[07:19] Kaiki
"Ki," like a dead tree.
[07:23] Araragi
My name is Araragi.
[07:26] Araragi
The kanji are, uh...
[07:27] Kaiki
No need to explain.
[07:30] Kaiki
It's a name I just heard said.
[07:37] Kaiki
But I suppose if I'm a dead tree,
[07:40] Kaiki
you must be a sapling.
[07:44] Araragi
Well, if you need something
at Kanbaru's place...
[07:49] Kaiki
You're polite, for a child these days.
[07:53] Kaiki
And kind, too. Interesting.
[07:57] Kaiki
But your kindness is wasted on me.
[08:01] Kaiki
And I've no particular business
with this household.
[08:04] Kaiki
However...
[08:06] Kaiki
I'd heard that the Gaen child lived here.
[08:12] Kaiki
I haven't anything to do here,
but I thought I might take a look.
[08:15] Kaiki
That's all.
[08:17] Araragi
Gaen?
[08:18] Araragi
Isn't that the maiden name
of Kanbaru's mother?
[08:21] Araragi
Then her child would be Kanbaru Suruga?
[08:28] Kaiki
But I've wasted my time.
[08:31] Kaiki
I hardly feel any aura at all.
[08:33] Kaiki
One-third, I'd say...
[08:36] Kaiki
It won't cause problems if I ignore it.
[08:39] Kaiki
No, I have no choice but to ignore it.
[08:41] Kaiki
Unfortunately, there's no money to be made.
[08:46] Kaiki
The lesson for me here is that
[08:50] Kaiki
even if the truth is as one suspects,
[08:53] Kaiki
it may still be worthless.
[09:02] Araragi
Um...
[09:09] Araragi
No...
[09:10] Araragi
He's totally different from
that slacker, Oshino.
[09:14] Araragi
He was more like Guillotine Cutter.
[09:18] Araragi
Well, both Oshino and Guillotine Cutter
[09:21] Araragi
were totally different types, but...
[09:26] Araragi
I'll follow him.
[09:34] Araragi
Maybe it's intuition,
[09:36] Araragi
but I have a feeling that it's a bad
idea to get involved with him.
[09:40] Araragi
Those strange, depressing funeral clothes.
[09:43] Araragi
But there was something far beyond that...
[09:46] Araragi
Something ominous.
[09:48] Araragi
Ominous...
[09:49] Araragi
And threatening.
SIGN A Threat
[10:01] Araragi
Hey! Senjougahara!
[10:09] Araragi
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
[10:14] Araragi
Don't do things that will seriously depress me!
SIGN No Entry
[10:22] Araragi
Hey, Senjougahara.
[10:25] Senjougahara
I don't know any boy who'd
neglect his studies,
[10:29] Senjougahara
to wander around here.
[10:30] Araragi
Well... Y-You've misunderstood.
[10:34] Senjougahara
Silence. I most certainly have not.
[10:37] Senjougahara
Running from my tutelage is one thing,
but to run from Hanekawa-san's,
[10:41] Senjougahara
you must be a true coward.
[10:43] Senjougahara
I'm disappointed in you.
[10:44] Araragi
No, no.
[10:45] Araragi
Hanekawa's busy today,
and couldn't make it.
[10:48] Senjougahara
I'm tired of excuses, incompetent fool.
[10:51] Senjougahara
In the end, you're all talk, Araragi-kun.
[10:55] Senjougahara
The fact that a man like you won my heart
[10:58] Senjougahara
will shame me for the rest of my life.
[11:00] Araragi
You say things that would drive
any other man to suicide,
[11:03] Araragi
all like it's nothing, you know?
[11:05] Senjougahara
Insect.
[11:15] Araragi
Gahara-san! Gahara-san!
[11:16] Senjougahara
What is it, Churaragi-kun.
[11:18] Araragi
Don't say my name like an obscure
regional Okinawa word!
[11:21] Araragi
My name is Araragi!
[11:23] Araragi
And that's Hachikuji's gag!
[11:26] Senjougahara
Sorry! I bit my tongue.
[11:27] Araragi
No, you did it deliberately.
[11:29] Senjougahara
I bit my tongue, and you can die.
[11:30] Araragi
She really did do it deliberately!
[11:32] Senjougahara
Don't get the wrong idea.
[11:33] Senjougahara
I actually hate human garbage like you.
[11:38] Araragi
Are you just taking advantage
of your tsundere status
[11:41] Araragi
to say what you really think?!
[11:43] Senjougahara
But they say a woman's better off
[11:46] Senjougahara
with an unloved man,
versus a man who loves.
[11:49] Araragi
That isn't quite right!
SIGN An Unloved Man
[11:50] Senjougahara
It's a joke.

SIGN Danger
[12:38] Senjougahara
I may not seem it,
[12:39] Senjougahara
but I'm quite tolerant regarding adultery.
[12:42] Araragi
I'm not committing adultery.
[12:43] Araragi
I'm not even engaging in the "adult" part.
[12:46] Senjougahara
So regardless of what you play, with whom,
[12:49] Senjougahara
that is your choice.
[12:52] Senjougahara
But if any of it ever gets the
slightest bit serious,
[12:55] Senjougahara
I'll kill you.
SIGN Danger Zone
SIGN Danger
[12:59] Senjougahara
Don't worry.
[13:00] Senjougahara
I won't let you die alone.
[13:03] Senjougahara
I'll send the other woman
right after you.
[13:06] Araragi
Why don't you just die, too?
[13:07] Senjougahara
Then I'll send Kanbaru,
so you don't get lonely!
[13:11] Araragi
What do you think Kanbaru is?
[13:13] Senjougahara
An underclassman I can
use however I like.
[13:14] Araragi
A cruel definition,
stated without hesitation!
[13:16] Senjougahara
A joke.
[13:17] Senjougahara
Kanbaru is a cute little underclassman.
[13:19] Senjougahara
And I don't believe in life
after death at all.
[13:24] Araragi
I see...
[13:26] Senjougahara
I just wanted you to understand that
[13:29] Senjougahara
this is what it means to date me.
[13:33] Araragi
I get it.
[13:34] Araragi
I wouldn't cheat, anyway.
[13:36] Senjougahara
Okay.
[13:38] Senjougahara
Very well, then.
[13:39] Senjougahara
As long as you don't forget
to whom you belong,
[13:43] Senjougahara
that's fine.
[13:45] Senjougahara
I put a decent amount of effort
into being your woman.
[13:50] Senjougahara
If possible, I'd like you to do the same.
[13:54] Araragi
Effort, huh?
[13:56] Araragi
I am...
[13:57] Araragi
I've never forgotten to whom I belong.
[14:00] Senjougahara
I see...
[14:04] Senjougahara
By the way, Araragi-kun,
SIGN Danger Zone
[14:05] Senjougahara
that said, I'd like to be certain
that you know this...
[14:11] Senjougahara
Speaking as a girlfriend,
it's actually quite wonderful
[14:15] Senjougahara
to have such a popular boyfriend.
[14:17] Araragi
Too close to what she's really thinking!
[14:21] Araragi
Are you going somewhere?
[14:23] Senjougahara
I finished my shopping, and I'm heading home.
[14:26] Senjougahara
Speaking of which, what are
you doing out here?
[14:29] Senjougahara
This isn't your normal territory.
[14:31] Araragi
Can't you tell?
[14:33] Senjougahara
Unfortunately, I've never studied the
actions of microscopic organisms.
[14:38] Senjougahara
But if I had to guess regardless,
given what I know about you,
[14:41] Senjougahara
I'd say you're returning from
some misdemeanor.
[14:44] Araragi
Do you think I just go out
and commit misdemeanors?
[14:47] Araragi
I'm on my way back from Kanbaru's.
[14:50] Senjougahara
I see.
[14:50] Senjougahara
You were committing
misdemeanors at Kanbaru's.
[14:52] Araragi
I was not!
[14:53] Senjougahara
Oh?
[14:54] Senjougahara
I thought you saw Kanbaru naked.
[14:57] Araragi
I... I did not!
[14:58] Araragi
At least, not from the front.
[15:01] Araragi
I simply thought a minor detail
like that wasn't worth sharing.
[15:05] Araragi
Come to think of it,
[15:07] Araragi
I saw a weird guy in front
of Kanbaru's house.
[15:09] Senjougahara
Oh?
[15:10] Senjougahara
When did they hang a mirror
in front of Kanbaru's house?
[15:13] Araragi
He was strange...
[15:15] Araragi
Kind of ill-omened.
[15:18] Senjougahara
Ill-omened?
[15:19] Araragi
His name was...
[15:22] Araragi
Kaiki?
[15:24] Araragi
Was that it?

[15:40] Araragi
Do you know this Kaiki guy?
[15:53] Senjougahara
I'd prefer that you not ask.
[15:56] Araragi
If I shouldn't, then I won't.
[15:58] Araragi
But that isn't really the case, is it?
[16:00] Araragi
If you have to do all this...
[16:04] Araragi
It was just to protect me.
[16:05] Araragi
Senjougahara kidnapped me
[16:08] Araragi
in order to protect me.
[16:14] Araragi
For you to go to these lengths,
[16:16] Araragi
it must be a big deal.
[16:17] Senjougahara
You think so?
[16:18] Senjougahara
Personally, I'd say that it's likely
[16:21] Senjougahara
that I'd kidnap you, with even
the slightest of pretexts.
[16:25] Araragi
Yeah...
[16:31] Senjougahara
Kaiki Deishuu.
[16:34] Senjougahara
That's his name.
[16:36] Senjougahara
Kaiki is an uncommon name.
[16:38] Senjougahara
And if you saw him and "ill-omened"
sprang to mind, that's him.
[16:41] Senjougahara
I know no other man who suits
[16:43] Senjougahara
that term so well.
[16:46] Senjougahara
Yes,
[16:47] Senjougahara
just as you know nothing at all...
[16:51] Senjougahara
I hadn't imagined he'd
return to this town...
[16:54] Senjougahara
Surprising, inexplicable...
[16:56] Senjougahara
Honestly, I didn't expect it in the slightest.
[16:58] Araragi
What's he like?
[17:00] Araragi
It's unusual for you to have such antipathy
[17:02] Senjougahara
for someone.
[17:05] Senjougahara
Kaiki is a fraud.
[17:09] Senjougahara
You and Oshino-san solved my problem,
[17:13] Senjougahara
if you recall?
[17:18] Araragi
Yeah.
[17:19] Senjougahara
And did I not tell you?
[17:21] Senjougahara
How, before you introduced
me to Oshino-san,
[17:24] Senjougahara
I met with five con men.
SIGN Three Four Two One Five
[17:28] Senjougahara
Kaiki was one of them.
[17:30] Senjougahara
The first.
[17:32] Araragi
I understand.
[17:33] Araragi
His feel was akin to that of Oshino
and Guillotine Cutter.
[17:37] Araragi
Those two are similar by virtue of their
expertise in the supernatural.
[17:41] Araragi
And Kaiki...
[17:42] Araragi
Kaiki Deishuu is just like them.
[17:46] Araragi
Regardless of whether he's
for real or a fake...
[17:49] Senjougahara
He's a fake,
[17:50] Senjougahara
but he's a master con man.
[17:53] Senjougahara
My entire family and I have
suffered greatly at his hands.
[17:57] Senjougahara
He did a few tricks, took our money,
[18:00] Senjougahara
and vanished without helping at all.
[18:03] Senjougahara
But that's a minor issue.
[18:07] Araragi
So, what isn't minor?
[18:10] Senjougahara
I do not
[18:11] Senjougahara
want you involved with him.
[18:15] Senjougahara
That's all.
[18:17] Senjougahara
I will no longer relinquish that
which is important to me.
[18:20] Senjougahara
I won't lose anything else.
[18:21] Senjougahara
Therefore,
[18:23] Senjougahara
I am going to protect you, Araragi-kun.
[18:31] Araragi
Is this Kaiki that much of a problem?
[18:35] Araragi
Why do you want me to keep away?
[18:37] Senjougahara
Hmm...
[18:38] Senjougahara
He's too much for a man
of justice like yourself.
[18:41] Araragi
A man of justice?
[18:43] Araragi
I'm not one of the Fire Sisters.
[18:45] Senjougahara
Until I know at least what he's after,
[18:49] Senjougahara
why he's returned,
[18:52] Senjougahara
I'd like you to please remain here.
[18:57] Senjougahara
No.
[18:58] Senjougahara
Even if he isn't here for any specific reason,
[19:01] Senjougahara
I'd like you to stay here until he leaves.
[19:05] Araragi
What if he moves here?
[19:09] Senjougahara
If he moves here...
[19:12] Senjougahara
Then you'll have to spend the rest
of your life in this room.
[19:14] Araragi
Hey, Gahara-san!
[19:15] Senjougahara
Or...
[19:17] Senjougahara
I could kill Kaiki.
[19:18] Araragi
Wait.
[19:19] Senjougahara
I know. I'll go "click" on him.
[19:22] Araragi
"Click"?
[19:23] Araragi
Cute sounds do not make it okay!
SIGN Not Okay
[19:25] Araragi
And it isn't okay!

Anyway, what is this Kaiki guy...
[19:31] Araragi
Can I look at that?
[19:45] Araragi
Wait, you're groping around too much!
[19:47] Araragi
Where are you touching me?
[19:49] Senjougahara
It's hard to reach, deep in your pocket.
[19:51] Araragi
My pockets aren't that deep.
[19:53] Senjougahara
I see.

Just so we're clear,
[20:34] Senjougahara
I'm not such a coward that I'd hesitate
because I'm facing a vampire.
[20:38] Senjougahara
Nor kind enough to hesitate
because I'm facing my lover.
[20:42] Araragi
I know that.
[20:45] Araragi
It's why I like you.
[20:48] Senjougahara
If you want to get past me,
you'll have to defeat me.
[20:52] Senjougahara
Can you do that?
[20:54] Araragi
I can.
[20:55] Araragi
Those lines don't work
unless they're said together.
[20:58] Araragi
Just as you claim to wish to protect me,
[21:01] Araragi
I have something I want to protect.
[21:03] Senjougahara
Do you expect those words
to convince me?
[21:06] Araragi
They don't need to, right?
[21:08] Senjougahara
I don't know about that.
[21:10] Senjougahara
I'd prefer that you not consider me to be
the understanding type of woman.
[21:14] Araragi
But, Senjougahara...
[21:16] Araragi
Then when you fell in love,
what did you like about me?
[21:19] Araragi
Can you boldly claim to love me,
even if I do nothing here?
[21:22] Senjougahara
Oh, no.
[21:24] Senjougahara
That's really cool.
[21:25] Senjougahara
If I were a man, I'd love you.

Stay a woman, and love me anyway!
[21:30] Senjougahara
I do.

You don't have to do that.

I'll do everything you say.
[22:10] Senjougahara
You can go home, Araragi-kun.
[22:14] Senjougahara
Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Well, you know...
[22:23] Senjougahara
I'm s-sorr... I'm sorry...

[00:04] Karen
I'm right!
[00:07] Tsukihi
Karen-chan...
[00:08] Koyomi
For now, just tell me what happened.
[00:11] Koyomi
Weren't you going to have a heroic tale for me?
[00:15] Koyomi
I'll ask once more, bigger little sister...
[00:17] Koyomi
Tell me what happened.
[00:19] Karen
Nope!
[00:24] Hanekawa
Araragi-kun?
[00:26] Hanekawa
Araragi-kun, you were really upset when
[00:30] Hanekawa
my father hit me, right?
[00:32] Hanekawa
So why are you about to hit your little sister?
[00:37] Hanekawa
I think physical punishment is
[00:39] Hanekawa
appropriate to some circumstances.
[00:42] Hanekawa
If you can give some reason,
[00:43] Hanekawa
which will satisfy Karen-chan,
[00:46] Hanekawa
even after you've hit her,
[00:48] Hanekawa
then it's all right.
[00:50] Koyomi
I'm sorry.
[00:51] Hanekawa
Why are you apologizing to me?
[00:54] Koyomi
I'm very sorry.
[00:55] Koyomi
I got too emotional.
[00:56] Karen
Hey, Tsubasa-san,
[00:57] Karen
don't be mad at my brother.
[00:59] Karen
This one was my fault.
[01:02] Karen
And if he'd hit me, I would've hit him back.
[01:05] Hanekawa
I see.
[01:06] Hanekawa
Then I guess my help wasn't needed.
[01:08] Karen
That's right, Tsubasa-san.
[01:10] Hanekawa
But I don't think you'd have
been able to hit him back.
[01:13] Karen
If not, I'd have bitten him.
[01:16] Karen
You don't know how strong my teeth are.
[01:19] Tsukihi
Onii-chan, don't be mad, okay?
[01:23] Tsukihi
Hanekawa-san is
[01:24] Tsukihi
helping the Fire Sisters with this...
[01:27] Koyomi
I'm very mad!
[01:28] Hanekawa
Araragi-kun, keep it down.
[01:32] Hanekawa
You'll wake up your parents.
[01:34] Hanekawa
And I didn't realize
[01:35] Hanekawa
you yelled at your sisters that way.
[01:38] Hanekawa
I'm surprised.
SIGN They're pretending to be good in front of Hanekawa.
[01:40] Koyomi
This is really hard!
[01:41] Tsukihi
Hanekawa-san, don't get mad at Onii-chan.
[01:45] Tsukihi
He's just worried that we're
[01:49] Tsukihi
causing trouble for you.
[01:50] Koyomi
Jeez.
[01:51] Hanekawa
Araragi-kun,
[01:53] Hanekawa
I'm cooperating with Karen-chan and Tsukihi-chan
[01:55] Hanekawa
of my own free will.
[01:57] Hanekawa
So don't blame them.
[01:59] Hanekawa
The Araragi-kun I know wouldn't get
[02:01] Hanekawa
angry with his sisters for no reason, would he?
[02:07] Koyomi
Okay, okay.
[02:09] Koyomi
I won't get mad.
[02:10] Koyomi
I promise.
[02:10] Karen
And you won't tell Mom and Dad?
[02:13] Koyomi
I won't.
[02:14] Koyomi
So explain. What was the big deal,
[02:16] Koyomi
and what happened after that?
[02:18] Karen
Hmm, what happened then, I wonder...
[02:22] Koyomi
Hanekawa, would you go to
my room for a second?
[02:25] Karen
Nii-chan is trying to get
Tsubasa-san into his room!
SIGN I will kill you someday.
[02:30] Hanekawa
All right. Let's go.
[02:32] Hanekawa
It's okay, Karen-chan... Tsukihi-chan.
[02:35] Hanekawa
You did the right thing.
[02:38] Hanekawa
Once he talks to me,
I'm sure he'll understand.
[02:41] Hanekawa
I'll tell him everything, so don't worry.
[02:43] Both Hanekawas
Tsubasa-san!
Hanekawa-san!
[02:47] Hanekawa
I trust your brother.
[02:55] Koyomi
Hey, big one.
[02:57] Karen
What is it, little one?
[02:59] Koyomi
You're probably right.
[03:01] Koyomi
You always are.
[03:03] Koyomi
I won't deny that.
[03:04] Koyomi
But that's all you are.
[03:07] Koyomi
You're never strong.
[03:09] Koyomi
And if you're not strong, you'll lose.
[03:11] Koyomi
You do enough martial arts to know that.
[03:15] Koyomi
The first requirement of being
a hero isn't being right.
[03:18] Koyomi
It's being strong.
[03:20] Koyomi
That's why the hero always wins.
[03:22] Koyomi
You need to learn that.
[03:24] Koyomi
Until you do, what you're doing is just a game.
[03:29] Koyomi
And you'll only be fakes.
SIGN Episode 4: Karen Bee, Part 4
[03:43] Hanekawa
It's kind of different...
[03:45] Hanekawa
The way you worry about your sisters,
[03:49] Hanekawa
or Senjougahara-san,
[03:51] Hanekawa
or Mayoi-chan,
[03:52] Hanekawa
or Kanbaru-san,
[03:53] Hanekawa
or Sengoku-chan, is totally different
[03:56] ---
than how you worry about me.
[03:57] Hanekawa
I don't know how to explain it.
[03:59] Hanekawa
It feels more desperate.
[04:01] Koyomi
Desperate?
[04:02] Hanekawa
It's like a totally different personality.
[04:07] Hanekawa
You were pretty hard
[04:09] Hanekawa
on them back there, weren't you?
[04:11] Hanekawa
"You're only right,
you aren't strong."
[04:13] Hanekawa
It sounded like
[04:14] Hanekawa
you were telling yourself that, too.
[04:17] Koyomi
You're saying they bother me because
I have the same problem?
[04:19] Hanekawa
I'm sure this isn't what you want to hear.
[04:22] Hanekawa
But I think it's more like
[04:26] Hanekawa
you bother yourself.
[04:27] Koyomi
Hanekawa, you've only known them for
[04:30] Koyomi
a month or so, so you might not understand.
[04:35] Koyomi
But I've lived with Karen-chan
for fifteen years,
[04:37] Koyomi
and Tsukihi-chan for fourteen.
[04:40] Koyomi
And from that experience, I can tell you...
[04:44] Koyomi
Hanekawa?
[04:46] Hanekawa
Sorry, sorry.
[04:47] Hanekawa
But you call them "-chan," huh?
[04:52] Koyomi
B-Big mistake!
[04:56] Hanekawa
Don't worry about it.
[04:58] Hanekawa
I call them that, too.
[05:01] Koyomi
I-It isn't like that.
[05:02] Koyomi
I was just, you know,
imitating how you talk...
[05:06] Koyomi
That's right.
[05:07] Koyomi
It's a type of rhetorical trick,
[05:09] Koyomi
and normally, I don't...
[05:13] Koyomi
Th-That aside.
[05:16] Koyomi
Let's get to the point, Hanekawa.
[05:18] Koyomi
We might not have much time.
[05:20] Hanekawa
That's true...
[05:23] Koyomi
But I at least know the beginning, right?
[05:27] Koyomi
They were looking for the source of the charm
[05:30] Koyomi
that's circulating among the middle school kids.
[05:32] Hanekawa
Huh? How did you know?
[05:34] Koyomi
Sengoku told me.
[05:36] Koyomi
Unfortunately, my little sisters...
[05:38] Hanekawa
Karen-chan and Tsukihi-chan!
[05:41] Koyomi
My little sis—
[05:42] Hanekawa
Karen-chan and Tsukihi-chan!
SIGN Black Scene
[05:46] Koyomi
Karen-chan and Tsukihi-chan are
[05:48] Koyomi
famous among middle school kids.
[05:51] Koyomi
So Sengoku hears about
anything they're up to.
[05:55] Hanekawa
I see.
[05:56] Hanekawa
Come to think of it,
[05:58] Hanekawa
wasn't Sengoku-chan one of
that charm's victims?
[06:02] Koyomi
The only victim.
[06:04] Hanekawa
Not the only victim.
[06:06] Hanekawa
But the biggest victim.
SIGN "You can sit on the bed." "Araragi-kun, you shouldn't
[06:08] Hanekawa
But the charms are having
SIGN just ask a girl to your bed like that." "Why not?"
SIGN Sengoku asked me to sit on her bed.
She even said I couldn't sit anywhere else.
[06:10] Hanekawa
a lot of negative effects.
SIGN I sit in my chair.
"By the way, Hanekawa, it's late.
Why are you in your uniform?"
SIGN Right. I'd been meaning to say something,
but hadn't had the chance.
SIGN Hanekawa Tsubasa is always in her uniform.
"I'm used to you wearing your uniform over break,
[06:13] Koyomi
Negative effects?
SIGN so it's fine, but... Don't you have any other clothes? I've never seen you not wearing your uniform!"
[06:14] Hanekawa
Mostly in terms of relationships.
SIGN "You saw me in my PJ's." "Pajamas don't count."
SIGN I'd also seen her in her underwear. But that
doesn't really count, either. What I want to see
SIGN is what Hanekawa picks to wear
when she's going out somewhere!
[06:17] Hanekawa
But when we looked into it, we found that
SIGN When will I ever see them?
"Well, there's no real reason.
I met Tsukihi-chan this evening,
SIGN and then we came here. Maybe I should start the story there?"
[06:20] Hanekawa
all the charms going around were curses.
SIGN "Yeah, thanks."
[06:22] Hanekawa
There was a definite trend.
[06:24] Hanekawa
Their guess, that someone was
deliberately spreading them,
[06:29] ---
probably was just a guess.
[06:32] Hanekawa
But even so, it wasn't completely wrong.
[06:36] Koyomi
By the way,
[06:38] Koyomi
how long have you been going
around with them?
[06:40] Hanekawa
I haven't been going around with them.
[06:43] Hanekawa
Once in a while, they ask
me for help, and I do.
[06:46] Hanekawa
To answer the question of
how long it's been...
[06:49] Hanekawa
Hmm,
[06:50] Hanekawa
I suppose since the start
of summer vacation.
[06:54] Koyomi
So you helped them.
[06:56] Koyomi
In other words, you found out
who was behind it.
[06:59] Koyomi
Basically, it was none other
than Hanekawa Tsubasa
[07:03] Koyomi
who was calling Karen's phone that time.
SIGN Black Scene
[07:06] Hanekawa
I'd prefer you didn't try and
act like this is my fault...
[07:09] Koyomi
That's what worried Oshino about you...
[07:13] Koyomi
That you're too smart,
[07:14] Koyomi
and you'll always find the answer.
[07:16] Hanekawa
I suppose so.
[07:18] Hanekawa
But that doesn't mean I can
not do my best.
[07:21] Koyomi
Yeah.
[07:22] Koyomi
Just as I, Karen-chan, or Tsukihi-chan...
[07:27] Koyomi
Just as I, Karen-chan, or Tsukihi-chan
[07:29] Koyomi
must accept our weakness,
[07:32] Koyomi
you must accept your strength.
SIGN Black Scene
[07:36] Koyomi
So then what? Karen-chan went to talk
[07:38] Koyomi
to whoever was behind this,
[07:41] Koyomi
and they did something to her?
[07:42] Hanekawa
That's right.
[07:44] Hanekawa
I was busy with something else,
[07:46] Hanekawa
and only arrived later.
[07:48] Hanekawa
So I didn't see the culprit directly.
[07:51] Hanekawa
If only I could have met up with
Karen-chan earlier,
[07:55] ---
I'd have been able to help.
[07:57] Koyomi
Karen-chan said who it was, right?
[08:00] Hanekawa
Um...
[08:01] Hanekawa
Some weird, ill-omened guy
[08:03] Hanekawa
named Kaiki Deishuu.
SIGN Black Scene
[08:11] Koyomi
I decided to leave my sisters
in Hanekawa's care,
[08:14] Koyomi
and take a bath.
[08:16] Koyomi
To be honest, I needed time to cool off,
[08:19] Koyomi
or I was just going to yell at them again.
[08:24] Koyomi
That's right, Hanekawa...
[08:26] Koyomi
What were you talking about
[08:28] Koyomi
over the phone, with Senjougahara?
[08:30] Hanekawa
Oh, that?
[08:32] Hanekawa
Tsukihi-chan sent a message
on her cell phone.
[08:34] Hanekawa
But she said it was strange that
there was no response.
[08:37] Hanekawa
So I called.
[08:41] Hanekawa
For all they might say, they trust you.
[08:45] Koyomi
Well, I figured that was what happened.
[08:49] Koyomi
But how did you manage to
persuade Senjougahara?
[08:53] Hanekawa
It was nothing, really.
[08:54] Hanekawa
When I heard her voice,
[08:56] Hanekawa
I guessed most of what was happening.
[08:58] Hanekawa
So I just made a small request.
[09:00] Koyomi
A small request?
[09:02] Hanekawa
"If you won't be a good girl,
[09:04] Hanekawa
I'll ask Araragi-kun to be my boyfriend."
[09:11] Koyomi
Scary...
[09:28] Koyomi
Um...
[09:30] Kiss-Shot
Since you've seen me naked now,
[09:33] Kiss-Shot
I guess that means I'll have
to marry you, too.
[09:37] Kiss-Shot
My master.
[09:40] Koyomi
Shinobu!
[09:41] Kiss-Shot
Ha ha!
[09:42] Kiss-Shot
What's wrong with you?
[09:45] Kiss-Shot
You look like a pigeon that's
been hit by a peashooter.
[09:48] Kiss-Shot
Or maybe a vampire that's been
hit by a silver bullet?
[09:54] Kiss-Shot
Is it that rare for me to talk?
[09:56] Kiss-Shot
Or maybe you thought I'd forgotten how?
[10:00] Koyomi
Shinobu, y-you...
[10:05] Kiss-Shot
Got bored.
[10:06] Kiss-Shot
I'm normally pretty talkative.
[10:08] Kiss-Shot
You know that.
[10:10] Kiss-Shot
I'm not going to keep my
mouth shut forever.
[10:13] Kiss-Shot
You should understand that, my master.
[10:22] Koyomi
Thank you.
[10:25] Kiss-Shot
What are you talking about?
[10:27] ---
Oh...
[10:29] Koyomi
Um... These! These chains...
[10:32] Koyomi
Weren't you the one who cut them?
[10:34] Kiss-Shot
Was I?
[10:35] Kiss-Shot
Ha ha!
[10:36] Kiss-Shot
I really don't remember.
[10:38] Kiss-Shot
But those arms look pretty stupid.
[10:42] Kiss-Shot
Let's see.
[11:06] Kiss-Shot
No need to thank me.
[11:08] Kiss-Shot
I just do what I feel like.
[11:11] Kiss-Shot
Always have, always will...
[11:14] Kiss-Shot
And this time, purely by chance,
[11:16] Kiss-Shot
and I assure you it was just chance,
[11:18] Kiss-Shot
your wishes and mine coincided,
[11:20] Kiss-Shot
my master.
[11:23] Koyomi
Shinobu, hey...
[11:24] Kiss-Shot
Hair.
[11:26] Kiss-Shot
My hair.
[11:28] Koyomi
Wh-What about your hair?
[11:30] Kiss-Shot
Wash my hair.
[11:32] Kiss-Shot
I feel like trying this shampoo stuff, for fun.
[11:35] Kiss-Shot
From your shadow, I've seen you do it,
[11:38] Kiss-Shot
and I always thought it looked fun.
[11:40] Koyomi
Can I touch you?
[11:43] Kiss-Shot
How can you wash my hair
without touching me?
[11:45] Koyomi
Okay, I'll give you some hair treatment, too.
[11:53] Koyomi
Hey...
[11:54] Kiss-Shot
Stop.
[11:55] Kiss-Shot
Don't say a word.
[11:58] Kiss-Shot
You won't forgive me,
[12:00] Kiss-Shot
and I'll never forgive you.
[12:03] Kiss-Shot
And that's fine.
[12:04] Kiss-Shot
Neither of us forgives the other.
[12:07] Kiss-Shot
That's fine.
[12:09] Kiss-Shot
We can't let the past be mere
water under the bridge.
[12:12] Kiss-Shot
Even so, there's no reason that
we can't come together.
[12:17] Kiss-Shot
That's the conclusion I've come to,
after thinking
[12:20] Kiss-Shot
for these past three or four months.
[12:24] Kiss-Shot
What do you think, my master?
[12:27] Koyomi
I'm surprised to hear that
you were thinking that.
[12:32] Kiss-Shot
You've been thinking
for yourself, haven't you?
[12:35] Kiss-Shot
I've been in your shadow.
[12:39] Kiss-Shot
So I know.
[12:52] Kiss-Shot
I can't be sullen forever.
[12:54] Kiss-Shot
I'm not so small a person.
[12:57] Kiss-Shot
And it seems you'll never get this
unless I tell you directly.
[13:04] Kiss-Shot
I do like pon-de-ring.
[13:06] Kiss-Shot
However...
[13:07] Kiss-Shot
Golden chocolate is my favorite!
[13:10] Kiss-Shot
So if you're going to buy two, buy those.
[13:16] Koyomi
Got it.
[13:23] Kiss-Shot
A wreathe-fire bee.
[13:24] Kiss-Shot
A supernatural variant of
the Asian giant hornet.
[13:26] Koyomi
Is that...
[13:28] Kiss-Shot
It's the monster that's afflicting
your colossal sister.
[13:33] Koyomi
Bigger sister. Not colossal.
[13:35] Kiss-Shot
Just so we're clear,
this isn't my knowledge.
[13:38] Kiss-Shot
It's that kid's.
[13:41] Kiss-Shot
Can you understand how I felt?
[13:44] Kiss-Shot
That sleazy little brat spent
[13:46] Kiss-Shot
every hour of every day filling my head
[13:49] Kiss-Shot
with useless stories of
ghosts and monsters.
[13:53] Kiss-Shot
And I had to sit there and listen,
[13:55] Kiss-Shot
without saying a word!
[13:58] Koyomi
That's horrible!
SIGN Black Scene
[14:00] Kiss-Shot
And this is one of the stories he told me.
[14:02] Kiss-Shot
The wreathe-fire bee.
[14:04] Kiss-Shot
I think
[14:05] Kiss-Shot
it dates back to around the
fourteenth or fifteenth century.
[14:08] Kiss-Shot
A type of infectious disease
with no known cause.
[14:12] Kiss-Shot
The disease starts with a
[14:14] Kiss-Shot
fever so high that it renders
its victims unable to move,
[14:17] Kiss-Shot
proceeding until their death.
[14:20] Kiss-Shot
In the end, hundreds of people did die.
[14:23] Kiss-Shot
It was a long time before a famous
onmyoji stopped it.
[14:27] Kiss-Shot
Supposedly, this was written in
some scroll or another.
[14:31] Kiss-Shot
"They were stung by a bee that
could not be touched,
[14:34] Kiss-Shot
and their bodies were wreathed
in flames," it said.
[14:41] Koyomi
Karen is the type
[14:43] Koyomi
who hates to show weakness.
[14:45] Koyomi
And I'll be honest when I say
I didn't notice a thing.
[14:48] Koyomi
But she was under considerable stress.
[14:52] Koyomi
She was running a bad fever.
[14:54] ---
Hanekawa said she felt like,
[14:57] Koyomi
she was covered in flames.
[15:00] Koyomi
In other words, she was really sick.
[15:05] Koyomi
Jeez...
[15:06] Koyomi
So that's why Hanekawa
was covering for her.
[15:08] Koyomi
I still think it's her own fault.
[15:11] Kiss-Shot
Her own fault?
[15:13] Kiss-Shot
You're really tough on your family...
[15:16] Kiss-Shot
Well, I've been watching for a long time,
[15:19] Kiss-Shot
so I can't say this surprises me.
[15:21] Kiss-Shot
But even so,
[15:22] Kiss-Shot
while I'm not certain I agree
[15:24] Kiss-Shot
with your former class president,
[15:25] Kiss-Shot
I really am surprised.
[15:26] Koyomi
Former class president?
SIGN She's still class president, you know.
[15:30] Koyomi
I don't think I'm being harsh.
[15:33] Koyomi
But either way, I guess this Kaiki guy
[15:37] Koyomi
used a supernatural monster
to poison my sister.
[15:39] Koyomi
I don't know if that's possible, but...
[15:43] Kiss-Shot
It's possible.
[15:44] Kiss-Shot
Doable, certainly.
[15:46] Kiss-Shot
But...
[15:48] Kiss-Shot
If we believe what your tsundere told us,
[15:52] Kiss-Shot
Kaiki was a fake and a con man.
[15:55] Koyomi
That's true...
[15:57] Kiss-Shot
Of course,
[15:58] Kiss-Shot
there's no reason
[15:59] Kiss-Shot
a fake can't do what the real thing would.
[16:03] Kiss-Shot
And it's possible for a fake
[16:04] Kiss-Shot
to be more real than the real thing.
[16:07] Koyomi
True...
[16:09] Koyomi
Certainly,
[16:10] Koyomi
it's possible for someone to be
[16:12] Koyomi
unskilled as a specialist,
but still a master con artist.
[16:15] Kiss-Shot
Unskilled as a specialist...

[16:20] Kiss-Shot
But in that case,
[16:21] Kiss-Shot
they'd be an even bigger problem
than someone who's good at it.
[16:26] Kiss-Shot
Anyone who would bend the supernatural to their will without the
[16:29] Kiss-Shot
proper talents isn't acting
as a normal person would.
[16:31] Kiss-Shot
Their lack of skill isn't the issue.
[16:33] Kiss-Shot
They're not even human.
[16:37] Kiss-Shot
It would be more accurate to say
[16:39] Kiss-Shot
that they themselves are a supernatural monster.
[16:43] Koyomi
Well, I can ask Senjougahara about that.
[16:47] Koyomi
In fact, I don't have a choice.
[16:49] Koyomi
The problem is how to get her...
[16:52] Koyomi
Well, I suppose there's no point
in faking this in front of you.
[16:55] Koyomi
Karen-chan...
[16:56] Koyomi
How to get her symptoms down.
SIGN Black Scene
[17:02] Koyomi
Shinobu, could you eat her disease?
[17:08] Kiss-Shot
Unfortunately...
[17:10] Kiss-Shot
The disease is merely the result.
[17:13] Kiss-Shot
I could make a tasty snack of the bee,
[17:15] Kiss-Shot
but I can't eat the result of a bee sting.
[17:18] Koyomi
That's right.
[17:19] Koyomi
Hmm...
[17:20] Koyomi
Then what?
[17:22] Koyomi
Did Oshino say anything about
dealing with a wreathe-fire bee?
[17:27] Kiss-Shot
Did he?
[17:29] Kiss-Shot
I think he might have,
[17:31] Kiss-Shot
but his lectures tended to wander
all over the place...
[17:36] Kiss-Shot
Come to think of it,
[17:37] Kiss-Shot
it's been a long time since
I last had a bath.
[17:39] Kiss-Shot
Ha ha.
[17:40] Koyomi
Has it?
[17:41] Kiss-Shot
Yup.
[17:42] Kiss-Shot
Maybe four hundred years.
[17:44] Koyomi
A scale beyond my power to imitate.
[17:49] Kiss-Shot
What are you staring at?
[17:51] Kiss-Shot
If you're staring this closely at
a young girl's naked body,
[17:54] Kiss-Shot
does that make you a true pervert?
[17:55] Koyomi
No, that's not what I...
[17:59] Kiss-Shot
Your passionate gaze
[18:03] Kiss-Shot
is stimulating my imagination a little bit.
[18:07] Kiss-Shot
Nothing exciting...
[18:09] Kiss-Shot
For example,
[18:10] Kiss-Shot
what do you think would happen
if I started to scream
[18:13] Kiss-Shot
so loudly that the whole
house could hear?
[18:18] Kiss-Shot
Just stuff like that.
[18:21] Kiss-Shot
Of course, if you were to offer me
[18:23] Kiss-Shot
a giant pile of donuts to
keep my mouth shut,
[18:27] Kiss-Shot
I would be willing to negotiate.
[18:32] Koyomi
Go ahead and try.
[18:34] Koyomi
You and I are one.
[18:36] Koyomi
Since you can't leave my shadow,
[18:38] Koyomi
it'll be bad for you, too.
[18:40] Koyomi
If nothing else,
[18:41] Koyomi
you'll never get any more Mister Donuts.
[18:43] Kiss-Shot
Ha ha.
[18:44] Kiss-Shot
I see, then.
[18:46] Kiss-Shot
So that's your answer.
I guess you've grown up a little, my master.
[18:49] Tsukihi
Onii-chan, how long will you
be taking that bath?
[18:52] Tsukihi
You were going to listen to
my story next, right?
[18:56] ---
Umm...
[19:10] Tsukihi
Huh?
[19:11] Tsukihi
Onii-chan, where's that girl?
[19:14] Koyomi
Girl?
[19:15] Koyomi
What are you talking about?
[19:17] Koyomi
Don't say nonsensical things
during an emergency.
[19:20] Koyomi
Stupid girl...
[19:22] Tsukihi
Maybe I imagined it.
[19:24] Koyomi
Definitely!
[19:25] Koyomi
There was no girl with bright golden hair,
pale white skin, and a flat chest,
[19:28] Koyomi
who spoke in a haughty, old-style voice,
[19:30] Koyomi
but appeared to be around eight years old.
[19:32] Koyomi
You imagined it.
[19:34] Tsukihi
Really...
[19:38] Tsukihi
Well, whatever.
[19:39] Tsukihi
I'll let it slide.
[19:41] Tsukihi
Anyway, Onii-chan, your bath
is taking quite a while.
[19:44] Tsukihi
How long will you be?
[19:47] Koyomi
I'll be out in a second.
[19:48] Koyomi
Wait in the living room.
[19:49] Tsukihi
Right...
[19:50] Koyomi
And learn to knock.
[19:54] Tsukihi
You've never said that before!
[19:56] Tsukihi
Since when did you stop being a kid?
[19:58] Tsukihi
Don't get cocky, just because
you have some muscle now!
SIGN Black Scene
[20:08] Kiss-Shot
Ha ha.
[20:09] Kiss-Shot
That was scary...
[20:11] Kiss-Shot
You have a very violent sister.
[20:12] Koyomi
Shut up.
[20:16] Kiss-Shot
By the way, I'm sure this isn't
something the kid mentioned...
[20:21] Kiss-Shot
In fact, he deliberately kept it secret.
[20:25] Kiss-Shot
But when do you suppose
you're going to die?
[20:29] Koyomi
What does that mean?
[20:30] Kiss-Shot
Well, you know...
[20:33] Kiss-Shot
You're mostly human,
[20:35] Kiss-Shot
but at the same time,
you're still part vampire.
[20:39] Kiss-Shot
What does that mean for your lifespan?
[20:44] Kiss-Shot
Your toughness may have
reverted to human levels.
[20:46] Kiss-Shot
But it's possible that your lifespan
remains that of a vampire.
[20:49] Kiss-Shot
You retain some of your healing ability.
[20:53] Kiss-Shot
It's possible you'll live, not four hundred,
[20:57] Kiss-Shot
but five hundred years like me.
[21:04] Kiss-Shot
And your lover,
[21:05] Kiss-Shot
your friends,
[21:06] Kiss-Shot
your junior classmate,
[21:07] Kiss-Shot
your little sisters...
[21:09] Kiss-Shot
All of them are going to
die and disappear.
[21:13] Kiss-Shot
And in the end, it'll just be you and me.
[21:17] Kiss-Shot
No matter what bonds you
forge with others,
[21:20] Kiss-Shot
time will tear them apart.
[21:26] Kiss-Shot
Well?
[21:27] Kiss-Shot
Doesn't thinking about it
make you sick?
[21:33] Kiss-Shot
So here's a plan...
[21:36] Kiss-Shot
Why don't you kill me,
[21:38] Kiss-Shot
and go back to being a human for real?
[21:44] Koyomi
Don't be silly.
[21:46] Koyomi
It's just like you said.
[21:48] Koyomi
I won't forgive you,
[21:50] Koyomi
and you won't forgive me.
[21:53] Koyomi
That's all there is to it.
[21:54] Koyomi
And we're done discussing this.
[21:58] Koyomi
There's nothing left to say.
[22:00] Koyomi
We live until we die.
[22:05] Kiss-Shot
Very well, then.
[22:07] Kiss-Shot
Pray I don't kill you in your sleep,
[22:11] Kiss-Shot
my master.
[22:14] Kiss-Shot
Regardless, my life is well past its prime.
[22:18] Kiss-Shot
I'll while away some of my
[22:20] Kiss-Shot
remaining time beside you,
as your shadow.
[22:23] Kiss-Shot
But I've no intention of getting along.
[22:25] Kiss-Shot
Lower your guard, and I'll
kill you, then and there.
[22:31] Koyomi
And so, little by little,
[22:33] Koyomi
Shinobu and I came to a reconciliation.

[00:05] Koyomi
Where's the big one?
[00:07] Tsukihi
Hanekawa-san's looking after her.
[00:11] Koyomi
Then tell me the details.
[00:14] Tsukihi
Sure, okay.
[00:16] Tsukihi
But will you promise me something first?
[00:19] Koyomi
Are you in a position to make demands?
[00:21] Tsukihi
Sure, I am. I'm your little sister.
[00:23] Koyomi
And I'm your big brother,
so I can refuse them.
[00:28] Tsukihi
Fine. Forget it.
[00:30] Koyomi
By the way, what were you
going to ask me to do?
[00:33] Tsukihi
Not to get mad at Karen-chan.
[00:36] Koyomi
No.
[00:36] Tsukihi
You can be mad at me,
[00:38] Tsukihi
but don't get mad at Karen-chan.
[00:40] Koyomi
I'm getting mad at both of you.
[00:42] Tsukihi
You can be mad at Karen-chan,
[00:44] Tsukihi
but please don't get mad at me.
[00:45] Koyomi
I'm already mad.
[00:47] Koyomi
So start talking, and get it off your chest.
[00:50] Tsukihi
You think you're so cool.
[00:52] Tsukihi
You promised you wouldn't get mad
[00:53] Tsukihi
when Hanekawa-san was around.
[00:56] Tsukihi
Do you have any regrets, Onii-chan?
[00:59] Koyomi
Regrets?
[01:00] Koyomi
Of course I do.
[01:02] Koyomi
Does anyone not?
[01:04] Tsukihi
Well, I don't know...
[01:06] Tsukihi
I guess I'm not the type to regret things.
[01:09] Koyomi
I bet.
[01:10] Koyomi
You two sisters are like that.
[01:12] Tsukihi
But that means that sometimes,
[01:14] Tsukihi
I regret that I didn't regret something
[01:18] Tsukihi
when I should have.
[01:26] Tsukihi
Not that it matters.
[01:29] Koyomi
I guess you really want a strangling...
[01:31] Tsukihi
No, that's not it...

[01:34] Koyomi
Then get to the point.

I'll tell you something cool.
[01:40] Tsukihi
Something cool?
[01:41] Tsukihi
You know how I always say
I'm "platinum" mad?
[01:44] Tsukihi
It was originally "pretty" mad.
[01:48] Tsukihi
So it doesn't mean that I'm so mad,
[01:50] Tsukihi
the word "platinum" comes to mind.
[01:52] Koyomi
I've never heard you say "platinum" mad.
[01:55] Tsukihi
How come you don't know?
[01:57] Tsukihi
I'm platinum mad!
[01:58] Koyomi
You're clearly extremely upset!
[02:00] Koyomi
And stop trying to cleverly
change the subject.
[02:04] Tsukihi
Okay, Onii-chan.
[02:05] Tsukihi
Then why don't you tell me
something you regret?
[02:10] Tsukihi
I want to hear it.
[02:13] Tsukihi
Just telling you straight out would
be kind of upsetting.
[02:16] Tsukihi
So maybe we could like, share secrets?
[02:20] Tsukihi
Like we were on a school trip or something!
[02:22] Koyomi
Idiot...

Still, what I regret, huh?

It's hard to come up with something,

Like, something that's kind
of embarrassing.
[02:32] Tsukihi
Like... Oh...
[02:35] Tsukihi
Why don't you have any friends?
[02:38] Koyomi
I have friends now!
[02:38] Tsukihi
Do you?
[02:39] Tsukihi
How many?
[02:40] Koyomi
How many?
[02:41] Koyomi
Let me tell you...
[02:45] Koyomi
Five!
[02:47] Tsukihi
Wow, that seriously scared me.
[02:50] Tsukihi
Poor onii-chan...
[02:51] Tsukihi
You're going to die of loneliness!
[02:53] Koyomi
Don't be so mean to your brother!
[02:56] Koyomi
Anyway, I have some now,
[02:58] Koyomi
but you're asking why I didn't
have any for a while.
[03:01] Koyomi
Well, here's what I used to think.
[03:05] Koyomi
If you make friends, that means
your human hardness—
[03:07] Tsukihi
No, I've already heard enough
embarrassing stuff.
[03:11] Tsukihi
I'm sorry I asked.
[03:13] Koyomi
Don't apologize yet!
[03:14] Koyomi
I haven't said anything embarrassing!
[03:16] Tsukihi
Stop it, Onii-chan!
[03:18] Tsukihi
That's enough!
[03:18] Tsukihi
You needn't reopen the wounds anymore!
[03:21] Tsukihi
Stop it... It's over!
[03:23] Koyomi
It's not over!
[03:24] Hanekawa
Araragi-kun, I can hear you
from the second floor!
[03:28] Hanekawa
And I can hear you talking about something
[03:30] Hanekawa
that really doesn't sound too important.
[03:32] Hanekawa
Could you be a little more quiet?
[03:35] Koyomi
Yeah, sorry.
[03:37] Koyomi
I'll be more care...

[05:21] Koyomi
Let's talk about Araragi Karen for a while.
[05:24] Koyomi
Of course, this is just based on what
[05:27] Koyomi
I heard from Tsukihi and Hanekawa.
[05:30] Koyomi
So it may differ slightly from what happened.
[05:34] Kaiki
Welcome, young lady.
[05:35] Kaiki
My name is Kaiki.
[05:37] Kaiki
"Kai," like a mound of clamshells.
[05:40] Kaiki
"Ki," like a dead tree. What's your name?
[05:42] Karen
Araragi Karen.
[05:44] Karen
The "kozato" radical, with the
kanji for possibility.
[05:46] Karen
"It is good."
[05:47] Karen
And "ki," like a young tree.
[05:48] Karen
And my given name means
"to admire the flame."
[05:49] Karen
Karen.
[05:51] Kaiki
An excellent name.
[05:52] Kaiki
Be grateful to your parents.
[05:59] Kaiki
So, which are you?
[06:01] Kaiki
Do you want to learn a charm?
[06:03] Kaiki
Or have one undone?

The former is 10,000 yen.

The latter, 20,000.

Neither.
[06:11] Karen
I've come here to punch you!
[06:13] Kaiki
To punch me.
[06:15] Kaiki
So the message you sent me was a fake,
[06:18] Kaiki
and this is a trap.
[06:20] Kaiki
I see.
[06:21] Kaiki
Well done.
[06:23] Kaiki
Of course, I don't believe that
[06:26] Kaiki
you were the one who did it.

[06:46] Karen
What you're doing is a giant pain in the butt.
[06:49] Karen
You don't need me to explain, do you?
[06:51] Kaiki
A pain?
[06:53] Kaiki
I'm giving you kids what you want.

How you use it is your responsibility.

What am I thinking?

Quite a deep question.

Unfortunately, I'll have to respond
with a shallow answer.
[07:19] Kaiki
I'm doing it for the money, naturally.
[07:21] Karen
Money?
[07:23] Kaiki
Money makes the world go round.
[07:27] Kaiki
I suppose you've come here out of

some primitive sense of justice.
[07:32] Kaiki
But that was a mistake.
[07:36] Kaiki
You could have earned 100,000 yen for this.
[07:38] Kaiki
The lesson for you here is that working for free
[07:40] Kaiki
isn't worth it.
[07:42] Karen
No one hired me!
[07:44] Karen
I'm not here because someone asked me to be!

Even if someone had, I wouldn't

What's wrong?
[08:00] Kaiki
You're shaking, Araragi.
[08:03] Karen
I'm not shaking...

Selling this crap to middle schoolers?
[08:31] Karen
What are you thinking?
[08:32] Karen
And you call yourself an adult?!
[08:34] Kaiki
I'm an adult, yes.
[08:36] Kaiki
And of course I'm selling it to them...
[08:42] Kaiki
I'm a con man.

Aren't you embarrassed,
selling charms to middle schoolers?

Not at all.

That's all.
[08:54] Kaiki
But, Araragi, if you want to stop me,
[08:58] Kaiki
punches and kicks are useless.
[09:01] Kaiki
The fastest way would be to bring money.

My target for this little business is 3,000,000 yen.

[09:09] Kaiki

[09:15] Karen
And you call yourself human?
[09:18] Kaiki
Unfortunately, I am human, yes.
[09:21] Kaiki
I'm willing to sacrifice my life to protect

Just as you fill your heart through good deeds,

Is there really a difference?
[09:34] Karen
A-A difference?
[09:36] Kaiki
No, there's no difference at all.
[09:38] Kaiki
Your activities may make someone happier.
[09:42] Kaiki
But the same is true
[09:43] Kaiki
if I take the money I've earned and use it
[09:47] Kaiki
to grease the gears of a capitalist economy.
[09:50] Kaiki
The lesson for you here is that
[09:53] Kaiki
just as there isn't a problem that
can't be solved by being right,
[09:56] Kaiki
there isn't a problem that
can't be solved by money.
SIGN Black Scene
[10:02] Kaiki
The same is true of my victims, yes?

money as an object of value.

[10:12] Kaiki
Is the same not true of you?

D-Don't talk about the jacket!
[10:22] Karen
Just give me your answer...

Do you want to be punched?
[10:25] Karen
Or...

I don't want to be punched.
[10:28] Kaiki
Nor do I want to be kicked.

I dislike pain.
[10:32] Kaiki
So,
[10:34] Kaiki
here is a present for you, a bee.
[11:07] Kaiki
It's working quite well.
[11:10] Kaiki
You must have an active imagination.
[11:13] Kaiki
The lesson for you here is to assume
[11:16] Kaiki
that any person you see is a con man.
[11:19] Kaiki
Learn to doubt others.
[11:22] Kaiki
Did you think I would beg for forgiveness?
[11:25] Kaiki
Then you're just a fool.
[11:27] Kaiki
If you want me to have a change of heart,
[11:29] Kaiki
bring some cash.
[11:30] Kaiki
I'd be willing to discuss it for 10,000,000 yen.
[11:33] Karen
What did you do?
[11:35] Karen
What did you do to me?!
[11:37] Kaiki
Something bad.
[11:39] Kaiki
Of course, nothing is free.
[11:41] Kaiki
I'll take money for it.
[11:43] Kaiki
4,000 yen? I suppose that will do.
[11:47] Kaiki
I'll throw in our little chat as a bonus.
[11:50] Kaiki
I suppose I can leave some change
for train fare home...
[11:52] Kaiki
Oh, you already have a ticket.
[11:56] Kaiki
Then you won't need this change.
[11:59] Kaiki
In a moment, the poison will take hold,
[12:00] Kaiki
and you'll be able to move.
[12:02] Kaiki
I recommend using a cell to call for help.
[12:06] Kaiki
In the meantime, I'll make my escape.
[12:09] Kaiki
Of course, I'll continue what I was doing.
[12:12] Kaiki
But from now on, I'll avoid meeting
my customers directly.
[12:18] Kaiki
An excellent lesson...
[12:20] Kaiki
Farewell.

[12:26] Hanekawa
Araragi-kun, are you upset?
[12:29] Koyomi
About what?
[12:30] Hanekawa
Well, you know...
[12:31] Hanekawa
I was the one who tracked him down.
[12:34] Hanekawa
Are you mad about what
happened to Karen-chan?
[12:38] Koyomi
I wouldn't say I'm mad.
[12:40] Koyomi
But I'd like to say that if you were going to
[12:43] Koyomi
help the Fire Sisters, you should have told me.
[12:46] Hanekawa
But wouldn't you have gotten mad?
[12:49] Hanekawa
And if I decide I want to be friends
with Karen-chan and Tsukihi-chan,
[12:53] Hanekawa
isn't it my choice?
[12:54] Koyomi
It is your choice.
[12:55] Hanekawa
Yup.
[12:58] Hanekawa
But as an apology for not telling you
[13:00] Hanekawa
about Karen-chan and Tsukihi-chan,
[13:04] Hanekawa
you can have this ticket!
[13:06] Koyomi
What's this?
[13:07] Hanekawa
This ticket entitles you to touch my breasts
[13:09] Hanekawa
whenever you want, for as long as you like.
[13:11] Hanekawa
It's yours.
[13:13] Koyomi
Seriously?
[13:15] Hanekawa
Seriously.
[13:16] Hanekawa
But if you use it, I'll hate you forever.
[13:19] Koyomi
Then it's useless!
[13:23] Hanekawa
Well, putting that aside,
[13:27] Hanekawa
don't be too mean to Karen-chan
and Tsukihi-chan.
[13:31] Koyomi
It's fine.
[13:33] Koyomi
Don't worry about it.
[13:35] Koyomi
I realize they aren't just doing it for fun.
[13:38] Hanekawa
I know we talked about this before...
[13:44] Hanekawa
But still, they are kind of like you.
[13:48] Koyomi
They resemble me?
[13:49] Hanekawa
Not on the outside, on the inside.
[13:52] Hanekawa
I guess I'm one to talk, though.
[13:55] Koyomi
That's sure true.
[13:56] Koyomi
Of course, your family and
mine are different.
[14:02] Hanekawa
Oshino-san...
[14:04] Hanekawa
What's Oshino-san up to right now?
[14:07] Koyomi
I don't know.
[14:08] Koyomi
But he's watching over us
from somewhere.
[14:12] Koyomi
He'll probably just fix whatever's
wrong with Karen-chan.
[14:17] Koyomi
From what Shinobu said, the wreathe-fire bee
[14:20] Koyomi
is a very low-level monster.
[14:23] Hanekawa
Shinobu-chan?
[14:24] Hanekawa
Wreathe-fire bee?
[14:30] Hanekawa
A wreathe-fire bee, huh?
[14:32] Hanekawa
But I'm glad to see you've
made up with Shinobu-chan.
[14:36] Koyomi
I'm not upset about it, but...
[14:42] Hanekawa
Well, the reason Oshino-san left was
[14:45] Hanekawa
because he thought he could leave
Shinobu-chan to you, right?
[14:49] Hanekawa
Really, it would've made sense
if you'd reconciled
[14:52] Hanekawa
just after the culture fair.
[14:54] Koyomi
I guess that means it's taken a long time.
[14:57] Koyomi
You could say I've been slacking on the job.
[15:00] Hanekawa
You haven't been slacking at all.
[15:03] Hanekawa
I know that very well.
[15:05] Koyomi
You know everything, don't you?
[15:08] Hanekawa
I don't know everything.
[15:10] Hanekawa
I just know what I know.
[15:12] Hanekawa
The real problem in a fight comes
after you've made up.
[15:15] Hanekawa
Keep that in mind.
[15:27] Hanekawa
I can go the rest of the way myself.
[15:29] Koyomi
Take my bike.
[15:30] Koyomi
I'll lend it to you.
[15:31] Hanekawa
You're sure?
[15:32] Hanekawa
I'll take it, I guess.
[15:35] Hanekawa
Okay, then thanks.
[15:39] Hanekawa
I'll give it back tomorrow.
[15:41] Koyomi
Yeah.
[15:42] Hanekawa
Get this solved tonight.
[15:45] Hanekawa
You have to start studying
again tomorrow.
[15:50] Hanekawa
It's good that you're being a brother,
[15:52] Hanekawa
but don't forget that you're a
high school student, too!
[15:58] Karen
You're making too big a deal
out of this, Nii-chan.
[16:00] Karen
That's why I didn't want to tell you.
[16:03] Karen
People should keep their mouths shut.
[16:05] Karen
It's just a fever.
[16:08] Koyomi
Shut up.
[16:09] Koyomi
You're sick, so shut up and do what I say.
[16:13] Koyomi
Want to eat something?
[16:14] Koyomi
Canned peaches?
[16:15] Karen
No appetite.
[16:17] Koyomi
I see.
[16:19] Koyomi
I'm gonna let down your hair.
[16:20] Karen
I want to take a bath.
[16:22] Karen
This sweat feels awful.
[16:24] Koyomi
Your hair.
[16:26] Karen
Go ahead.
[16:32] Koyomi
A bath isn't happening,
[16:34] Koyomi
but I'll wipe down your body.
[16:38] Karen
Thanks.
[16:39] Karen
Not that I like it.
[16:41] Koyomi
Right.
[16:42] Koyomi
Then remove your clothes.
[16:49] Koyomi
Hey, I said to remove your clothes.
[16:51] Karen
Sorry, Nii-chan.
[16:54] Karen
I'm tired...
[16:55] Karen
Take my clothes off.
[16:58] Karen
Wipe me down.
[16:59] Karen
Put them back on.
[17:01] Koyomi
Why, you...
SIGN Nii-chan saw me naked, and I am so freaking embarrassed. —Karen
[17:04] Karen
Nii-chan saw me naked,
[17:05] Karen
and I am so freaking embarrassed.
[17:07] Koyomi
Why is it a haiku?
[17:09] Karen
Because I'm embarrassed!
[17:11] Koyomi
You dance around half naked
when you get out of the bath.
[17:13] Koyomi
I don't want to hear it.
[17:15] Karen
I'm not dancing!
[17:16] Karen
That's aerobics!
[17:23] Koyomi
I'll wipe down your back.
[17:25] Koyomi
Turn over.
[17:28] Karen
Too lazy.
[17:29] Karen
Turn me over.
[17:32] Karen
Damn it...
[17:35] Karen
I screwed this up.
[17:40] Karen
I know strength is more important
[17:41] Karen
than being right. I didn't need you to tell me.
[17:45] Karen
But you can't get strong all of a sudden.
[17:48] Karen
However,
[17:49] Karen
that doesn't mean you can just
ignore all the bad stuff you see
[17:53] Karen
until you are strong.
[17:55] Karen
The blood of justice flows through me,
[17:58] Karen
and it tells me to punish evil.
[17:59] Koyomi
You just like punching people.
[18:02] Koyomi
That's what I think.
[18:03] Karen
I'm sure it all looks like a game to you.
[18:06] Karen
But Kaiki...
[18:09] Karen
Kaiki Deishuu...
[18:11] Karen
Tsukihi-chan already told you
[18:14] Karen
why he was spreading those
weird charms and curses
[18:18] Karen
around the middle schools, right?
[18:21] Karen
That's right... It was for money.
[18:23] Karen
He spread hatred...
[18:25] Karen
Fear...
[18:26] Karen
And then, he took advantage of it,
[18:28] Karen
to take money without
actually doing anything.
[18:33] Karen
And when I asked him if
he weren't ashamed,
[18:35] Karen
here is what he said.
[18:39] Karen
Without a trace of shame, he said,
[18:41] Karen
"Children are easier to fool."
[18:44] Koyomi
Easier to fool...
[18:45] Karen
Tsukihi-chan's friend... Sengoku, was it?
[18:48] Karen
She didn't really want to talk about it,
[18:52] Karen
but whatever happened, didn't you save her?
[18:56] Karen
But she was one of the lucky ones.
[18:59] Karen
Some kids went to Kaiki for help, not knowing
he was the source of the rumors.
[19:03] Karen
And when they tried to get the money,
[19:05] Karen
he demanded they be arrested
for shoplifting.
[19:07] Karen
Could you have let that happen?
[19:10] Karen
Could you have looked them
in the eye and said,
[19:11] Karen
"I'm not strong yet, so I won't do anything"?
[19:16] Karen
He told me money was everything.
[19:19] Karen
I didn't think anyone like that
existed outside of manga.
[19:23] Karen
I mean, money is important.
[19:26] ---
But aren't there other things
that matter, too?
SIGN Love
[19:29] Karen
Like love!
[19:30] Koyomi
Our opinions overlapped.
[19:31] Karen
Money isn't everything.
[19:34] Karen
It's just most everything!
[19:35] Koyomi
Okay, maybe not.
[19:38] Karen
Nii-chan, Tsukihi-chan and I
are serious about this.
[19:42] Karen
We won't stop here.
[19:44] Karen
If this happens again, we'll do the same thing.
[19:48] Karen
This time, I may have lost the outcome.
[19:50] Karen
But I didn't lose mentally.
[19:52] Karen
And next time, I'll win.
[19:53] Karen
I'll keep it up until I win.
[19:54] Karen
I'll try, even if I don't win.
[19:56] Karen
The outcome isn't all that's important.
Right, Nii-chan?
[20:00] Koyomi
Lose the match, but win the game, huh?
[20:03] Koyomi
That's not something I'd expect
to hear from a martial artist.
[20:07] Karen
You can lose the match and the game,
[20:09] Karen
but if you don't lose to yourself,
it isn't a loss.
[20:12] Karen
That's my way.
[20:14] Koyomi
But as long as you stay like that,
[20:17] Koyomi
those around you will suffer.
[20:20] Koyomi
That's why you'll never grow up.
[20:25] Karen
I'm already grown up.
[20:26] Karen
Look at these boobs!
[20:28] Koyomi
Not even half Hanekawa's size.
[20:30] Koyomi
What of it?
[20:32] Karen
Tsubasa-san is that big?
[20:34] Koyomi
She's the real thing.
[20:36] Koyomi
I think you know that.
SIGN Black Scene
[20:38] Koyomi
Honestly,
[20:40] Koyomi
I'd prefer if you didn't hang
out with Hanekawa.
[20:43] Koyomi
But I guess this is a good chance.
[20:45] Koyomi
From now on, you should
start learning from her.
[20:49] Koyomi
Don't move.
[20:50] Koyomi
It's hard to wipe you down.
[20:51] Karen
It's fine now. I feel much better.
[20:54] Koyomi
We're almost done. Don't stop now.
[20:57] Karen
I don't want to get you sick.
[21:02] Koyomi
Get me sick?
[21:04] Koyomi
Wait a second.
SIGN Black Scene
[21:06] Koyomi
Shinobu.
[21:07] Kiss-Shot
What?
[21:08] Kiss-Shot
It's almost time for bed.
[21:12] Koyomi
Then, one thing before bed...
[21:15] Koyomi
Is there any way to transfer
her illness to me?
[21:19] Koyomi
It's more of a supernatural poison
than an illness.
[21:22] Koyomi
And it was given to her deliberately.
[21:25] Koyomi
So wouldn't it be possible for
her to give it to me?
[21:30] Kiss-Shot
So you're saying you'll take her illness?
[21:35] Kiss-Shot
There is a way.
[21:36] Kiss-Shot
But honestly, I can't recommend it.
[21:41] Kiss-Shot
Or it would be more accurate to say
[21:42] Kiss-Shot
I certainly wouldn't prefer it.
[21:45] Koyomi
I understand there's a risk.
[21:46] Kiss-Shot
I don't know if "risk" is the right word.
[21:49] Kiss-Shot
Well, I suppose it's an urban legend.
[21:52] Kiss-Shot
I think the kid used totally different
words to describe it.
[21:56] Koyomi
What?
[21:57] Koyomi
That's pretty vague.
And not like you at all.
[22:01] Kiss-Shot
Well, I don't know...
[22:02] Kiss-Shot
Whether it's something that would
be allowed, I couldn't say.
[22:06] Koyomi
I don't know what you're talking about,
[22:08] Koyomi
but of course it would.
[22:10] Koyomi
If there's any way to alleviate her suffering,
[22:12] Koyomi
we should take it.
[22:14] Kiss-Shot
Very true.
[22:17] Kiss-Shot
Do what you will.
[22:21] Karen
Nii-chan,
[22:23] Karen
I don't know if you went to
the bathroom or what,
[22:25] Karen
but you should have at least dressed me first.
[22:29] Koyomi
Karen-chan.
[22:34] Koyomi
I'm going to kiss you now.

Hey, Hachikuji.

U-Um...
[00:45] Araragi
Hachikuji?
[00:47] Hachikuji
Is that you, Araragi-san?
[00:49] Araragi
Come on, screw up my name!
[00:50] Hachikuji
Araragi-san, if you're greeting
me like a normal person,
[00:53] Hachikuji
that means you've gotten boring.
[00:57] Hachikuji
Did something happen?
[00:58] Araragi
Harsh!
[01:00] Araragi
Hey, you didn't like it, anyway!
[01:03] Hachikuji
That was just me acting,
so you'd do it more.
[01:05] Hachikuji
You didn't really think "no"
means "no", did you?
[01:08] Hachikuji
Jeez.
SIGN Don't push. Danger.
[01:09] Hachikuji
You ruined the opportunity I gave you!
[01:11] Araragi
Your "acting" is harsh!
[01:13] Hachikuji
You screwed it up right at the start.
[01:15] Hachikuji
Now the whole joke's wasted.
[01:17] Araragi
It's really that bad?!
[01:20] Araragi
Hey, Hachikuji.
[01:21] Araragi
Wait...
[01:22] Hachikuji
I don't know you.
[01:23] Hachikuji
My friend Araragi-san is dead.
[01:26] Hachikuji
Remove the sexual harassment from Araragi-san,
[01:28] Hachikuji
and there's nothing left but a flea.
[01:31] Araragi
No part of me was a flea to begin with!

[01:35] Hachikuji
I don't even want to see your face.

[01:37] Araragi
Don't say that!
[01:39] Araragi
Senjougahara's said that
to me a hundred times,
[01:41] Araragi
but when you say it,
I really do want to disappear.
[01:44] Araragi
So don't say that...
[01:46] Hachikuji
Huh?
[01:46] Hachikuji
I told you to disappear.
Why are you still here?
[01:49] Hachikuji
You can't even do that?
SIGN Danger Ahead!
[01:52] Araragi
I want to restart from a save point!
[01:56] Hachikuji
So what happened?
[01:58] Hachikuji
You seem pretty serious,
compared to yesterday.
[02:01] Araragi
Serious, huh?
[02:03] Araragi
Yeah, maybe.
[02:04] Araragi
A lot of stuff's happened.
[02:07] Hachikuji
Well, I won't ask for details.
[02:09] Hachikuji
But, Araragi-san,
[02:10] Hachikuji
you're looking disturbingly pale...
[02:14] Araragi
Am I?
[02:15] Hachikuji
You don't seem well.
SIGN I took half of Karen's illness, but that shouldn't result in any physical effects.
SIGN Wait, maybe Hachikuji can tell?
[02:22] Araragi
It was something called a wreathe-fire bee.
[02:25] Araragi
It's a totally different type
[02:27] Araragi
than your snail, I think.
[02:30] Araragi
But it's a problem anyway.
[02:32] Hachikuji
I see.
[02:34] Hachikuji
That is a problem...
[02:35] Hachikuji
But I'm sure you'll be fine, Araragi-san.
[02:39] Hachikuji
You always have been, right?
[02:43] Araragi
I hope so...
[02:45] Araragi
A lot of stuff is going wrong.
[02:49] Araragi
For one thing, my sisters are idiots.
[02:51] Hachikuji
More idiotic than you?
[02:53] Araragi
Don't call me an idiot!
[02:56] Araragi
What they're saying is right,
[02:58] Araragi
and I'd like to respect that...
[03:01] Araragi
But they're too rash.
[03:03] Araragi
What they want to do is right, but they
aren't doing it right, right away.
[03:06] Araragi
That's how it feels.
[03:09] Hachikuji
Isn't that what you're always being told?
[03:13] Hachikuji
And if you weren't like that,
[03:16] Hachikuji
I wouldn't be able to take
a nice walk around here.
[03:19] Hachikuji
So doesn't that mean that
[03:23] Hachikuji
they've saved a lot of people?
[03:27] Araragi
Still, I guess they're just kids.
[03:30] Araragi
They don't listen to a word anyone says.
[03:33] Araragi
I have to do this thing
[03:34] Araragi
while they're still sensible
enough to stay home.
[03:38] Araragi
Sensible...
[03:41] Araragi
Hachikuji, when do you think
you become an adult?
[03:46] Hachikuji
Not while you're saying things like that.
[03:49] Hachikuji
In Japan, you officially
become an adult at twenty,
[03:51] Hachikuji
but it changes, depending on the era.
[03:53] Hachikuji
Some people say that once you
start working, you're an adult.
[03:57] Hachikuji
But you can be an adult without working.
[04:00] Araragi
You can become an adult just by aging, huh?
[04:03] Araragi
I guess telling two girls in their
second and third years
[04:07] Araragi
of middle school to grow up
is asking too much.
[04:10] Araragi
Age-wise, they're kids.
[04:12] Hachikuji
That's the point!
[04:14] Hachikuji
It's natural for a middle schooler to be a kid.
[04:17] Hachikuji
But the fact that
[04:18] Hachikuji
they don't realize they're kids is the problem.
[04:21] Hachikuji
They may still be better than adults
[04:24] Hachikuji
who don't think they're adults.
[04:25] Araragi
There's nothing as difficult to deal with
[04:28] Araragi
as an adult who thinks they're a kid...
[04:30] Araragi
By the way, Hachikuji,
how do you think of yourself?
[04:34] Hachikuji
The body of a child and the brains of an adult.
[04:36] Araragi
So, you're a detective?!
[04:39] Araragi
Then, Hachihachiji...
[04:41] Araragi
What were we talking about?
[04:42] Hachikuji
Araragi-san, you're missing a temple.
[04:44] Araragi
I see.
[04:45] Araragi
I didn't realize. Sorry.
[04:47] Araragi
Hachishichiji.
[04:48] Hachikuji
Are we losing temples each time
you say my name?!
[04:52] Araragi
Hachirokuji.
[04:53] Araragi
I'm almost to Senjougahara's house.
[04:55] Araragi
We should split up here.
[04:58] Hachikuji
Oh, right.
[05:00] Hachikuji
You're right.
[05:01] Hachikuji
She doesn't like me.
[05:05] Hachikuji
Farewell, Araragi-san.
[05:06] Hachikuji
Be well.
[05:07] Araragi
You, too.
[05:10] Araragi
But at the time, I didn't know
[05:13] Araragi
what would happen to the cheerful young girl
[05:16] Araragi
named Hachikuji Mayoi.
[05:21] Araragi
Just kidding.
[05:23] Araragi
Honestly, I have no idea what will happen.

Um...
[07:21] Araragi
Gahara-san?
[07:22] Senjougahara
A question, Araragi-kun...
[07:24] Senjougahara
If, by some strange coincidence,
a hundred sharp pencils
[07:26] Senjougahara
I was carrying embedded
themselves in a third party,
[07:31] Senjougahara
would that be an accidental death?
[07:32] Araragi
No, it would be murder!
[07:33] Araragi
First-degree murder!
[07:34] Araragi
The following day's headlines would
read, "Man Killed by Pencils!"
[07:38] Senjougahara
Then I'll sharpen more pencils on
top of those headlines.
[07:42] Araragi
Calm down, Senjougahara!

[08:01] Araragi
If I ask, will you tell me why you're
[08:04] Araragi
arming yourself so heavily?
[08:07] Senjougahara
I'm going to go and chat with Kaiki.
[08:09] Senjougahara
As you've refused my protection,
[08:12] Senjougahara
I've no choice but to go on the attack.
[08:14] Araragi
Kidnapping and protection
are not the same thing!
SIGN One match can start a fire

[08:18] Araragi
By the way, I talked to Hanekawa afterwards.
[08:21] Senjougahara
What?
[08:22] Senjougahara
Did Hanekawa-sama...
[08:23] Senjougahara
I mean, Hanekawa-san say anything about me?
[08:26] Araragi
Did you just say "Hanekawa-sama"?
SIGN One match can start a fire
SIGN Be careful

[08:29] Senjougahara
I-I did not.
[08:30] Senjougahara
There is no bullying occurring at my school.
SIGN Bullying Is A Crime
[08:32] Araragi
You're being bullied? You?!
[08:35] Araragi
I mean, given the way you act,
[08:37] Araragi
I can see you might attract a lot
of Hanekawa's attention.
[08:40] Araragi
But don't say you're being bullied...
[08:42] Araragi
That's mean.
[08:43] Senjougahara
I'm not saying that.
[08:46] Senjougahara
I'm polishing her shoes every morning
[08:49] Senjougahara
because I enjoy doing so.
[08:52] Araragi
Why do you act like that toward her?
[08:55] Araragi
Anyway, you're going to see Kaiki, right?
[08:59] Araragi
But, Senjougahara, do you know where he is?
[09:02] Senjougahara
I have a business card from long ago,
[09:05] Senjougahara
one he gave me.
[09:07] Senjougahara
It's a miracle I never threw it away.
SIGN Ghost Buster Kaiki Deishuu
[09:12] Araragi
Senjougahara, I'm about to say
[09:15] Araragi
the worst thing in the world.
SIGN Ghost Buster Kaiki Deishuu
[09:17] Araragi
But if you fell for this, isn't it
partially your own fault?
[09:20] Senjougahara
That's the trap.
[09:22] Senjougahara
You'd never think that anyone
who'd give themselves
[09:25] Senjougahara
such a ridiculous title would
actually be a con man.
[09:28] Araragi
Is that how it works?
[09:30] Araragi
So what, Senjougahara?
[09:31] Araragi
You called this number,
and you spoke with him?
[09:35] Senjougahara
Yes.
[09:36] Senjougahara
He hadn't changed a bit.
[09:39] Senjougahara
As gloomy as ever.
[09:42] Araragi
Can I go with you?
[09:47] Araragi
If you're going to speak with Kaiki,
I want to go...
[09:53] Senjougahara
I can still pretend I didn't hear that.
[09:57] Senjougahara
Unless you wish to die, take that back.
[10:01] Araragi
My sister was one of his victims.
SIGN Ghost Buster Kaiki Deishuu
[10:04] Araragi
He set some bizarre monster called
a wreathe-fire bee on her.
[10:09] Araragi
She's suffering from a terrible fever.
[10:11] Araragi
I've taken half of it upon myself, to neutralize it,
[10:14] Araragi
but I don't know what could
happen in the future.
[10:19] Senjougahara
You took half of it yourself?
[10:22] Senjougahara
Will you be okay?
[10:25] Araragi
My vampiric healing ability
is keeping me safe.
[10:28] Araragi
It isn't perfect, but...
[10:30] Senjougahara
I see.
[10:31] Senjougahara
Then there's no turning back for you.
[10:34] Senjougahara
But I suppose with your sister involved,
[10:36] Senjougahara
that was never really a possibility.
[10:38] Araragi
That's not all.
[10:40] Araragi
You're involved, too.
[10:43] Araragi
Your trying to deal with Kaiki alone,
for my sake, is insane.
[10:47] Araragi
Am I wrong?
[10:50] Senjougahara
It isn't only for your sake.
[10:54] Senjougahara
Kaiki is one of the things
I need to settle for myself.
[10:59] Senjougahara
To the point where, had he not returned,
[11:02] Senjougahara
I'd have gone looking for him.
[11:05] Araragi
Why are you so obsessed?
SIGN One match can start a fire
SIGN Be careful

[11:08] Araragi
Wasn't it a little thing?
[11:11] Senjougahara
That was me tsundere-ing.
[11:13] Araragi
Tsundere-ing?
[11:15] Araragi
Do you plan to seek revenge on all
five of the con artists like that?
[11:19] Araragi
It's over.
[11:21] Araragi
Aren't there other things you should settle?
[11:25] Senjougahara
Of course not.
[11:26] Senjougahara
Like Oshino-san said, I won't pretend
[11:30] Senjougahara
to be their helpless victim.
[11:33] Senjougahara
I relied on them, and I was betrayed.
[11:35] Senjougahara
My personality isn't such that I still...
[11:39] Senjougahara
My personality...
[11:42] Senjougahara
My personality isn't the issue here.
[11:44] Senjougahara
I won't do that.
SIGN One match can start a fire
[11:46] Araragi
You have some personality
problems, don't you?
[11:49] Senjougahara
But Kaiki is a different matter.
[11:50] Araragi
Why?
[11:52] Senjougahara
He's the one responsible for my
mom and dad's divorce.
[11:57] Senjougahara
Naturally, I can't blame the
entire thing on Kaiki,
[12:00] Senjougahara
and I don't intend to.
[12:01] Senjougahara
But he ruined my family.
[12:04] Senjougahara
I can't forgive that.
[12:06] Senjougahara
If I forgave it...
[12:09] Senjougahara
I wouldn't be myself anymore.
[12:13] Senjougahara
I think that
[12:14] Senjougahara
even without Kaiki, my mom and
dad would have divorced.
[12:17] Senjougahara
I think my family would have been split up.
[12:21] Senjougahara
I think it's my fault that my mom left...
[12:26] Senjougahara
But, Araragi-kun,
[12:28] Senjougahara
does the fact that the result would have
[12:30] Senjougahara
been the same forgive the fact
that he caused it?
[12:34] Senjougahara
Does the fact that it would have happened,
[12:36] Senjougahara
sooner or later, forgive the fact that
he made it happen, out of malice?
SIGN Malice
[12:39] Araragi
Malice.
[12:41] Senjougahara
Malice is something I have a monopoly on.
[12:43] Araragi
I don't know about that.
SIGN Ghost Buster Kaiki Deishuu
[12:45] Senjougahara
Kaiki used the crab I met to ruin
[12:49] Senjougahara
my family, all for money.
[12:51] Senjougahara
Because it made no difference...
[12:56] Senjougahara
It's possible that you were a
secondary concern for me,
[13:01] Senjougahara
that protecting you was simply an excuse.
[13:04] Senjougahara
And that, in the end, I simply hate Kaiki.
[13:08] Araragi
An excuse?
SIGN One match can start a fire
SIGN Be careful
with fire
[13:10] Senjougahara
So I tsundere-ed.
[13:13] Senjougahara
Don't get the wrong idea.
[13:15] Senjougahara
I'm not doing this for your sake, Araragi-kun.
[13:20] Araragi
That is
[13:22] Araragi
probably not true.

The crab that Senjougahara met.

That was how the crab worked.
SIGN Hand Hand Hand
[13:41] Araragi
She should have gotten angry, like a child.

A child who'd lost her mom.
[13:46] Araragi
But then, there is
[13:49] Araragi
one thing I don't understand.
[13:52] Araragi
Kaiki is a con man and a fake, right?
[13:55] Araragi
But from what you said,
it sounds like he saw your crab.
[13:59] Senjougahara
I don't know.
[14:00] Senjougahara
But a fake with more power
than the real thing
[14:04] Senjougahara
is more dangerous than the real thing.
[14:06] Senjougahara
Of course, at the time,
[14:08] Senjougahara
I thought him just another sleazy con artist.
[14:10] Senjougahara
But thinking back,
[14:11] Senjougahara
he may have deliberately feigned incompetence
[14:14] Senjougahara
to draw more money from my father.
[14:17] Araragi
He's spending his time taking pocket
change from middle schoolers now.
[14:21] Araragi
And he got my sister when
she tried to stop him.
[14:25] Senjougahara
I see.
[14:26] Senjougahara
Your sister is a hero-man like you.
[14:28] Araragi
Stop calling me that!
[14:31] Senjougahara
The Fire Sisters of Tsuganoki
2nd Middle School.
[14:33] Senjougahara
I'd heard the rumors.
[14:36] Araragi
Come to think of it, you did hear about them.
[14:38] Senjougahara
Just so we're clear, Araragi-kun,
[14:40] Senjougahara
my impression is that
[14:41] Senjougahara
"right" is a concept that won't work on him.
[14:45] Senjougahara
And "right" is all you have,
[14:46] Senjougahara
which makes you strong against hypocrites,
[14:48] Senjougahara
but weak against someone who's really evil.
[14:51] Araragi
I told you I'm not like that...
[14:53] Araragi
However,
[14:54] Araragi
I won't sit back and let you become a criminal.
[14:57] Senjougahara
I've no intention of committing any crimes.
[15:00] Senjougahara
I'm just going to punish him...
[15:02] Araragi
In modern society the two are identical.

[15:05] Araragi
Senjougahara, you might not know this,

but I love you.
[15:11] Araragi
Even if you do become a criminal,
and end up in jail,
[15:15] Araragi
I'd still visit you every day.
[15:19] Araragi
But I'd rather be with you all the time.
[15:22] Araragi
Sometimes, I don't know
why I'm dating you.
[15:27] Araragi
But I love you so much, I don't need a reason.
[15:32] Araragi
If you're going, then let's go together.
[15:34] Araragi
You can protect me...
[15:36] Araragi
I'll protect you.
[15:38] Senjougahara
Oh, no.
[15:39] Senjougahara
So incredibly cool...
[15:41] Senjougahara
If I were a man,
[15:43] Senjougahara
I'd be so jealous of your manliness
that I'd kill you.
[15:46] Araragi
Terrifying!
SIGN Terrifying
[15:47] Senjougahara
I'm glad I'm a woman
[15:49] Senjougahara
because I can love you...
[15:53] Senjougahara
I understand, Araragi-kun.
[15:55] Senjougahara
I'll do as you say.
[15:57] Araragi
Then you'll take me to Kaiki?
[16:00] Senjougahara
Yes.
[16:01] Senjougahara
But in exchange, I do have a request.
[16:04] Araragi
A request?
[16:05] Senjougahara
If you dislike the presumption implied
by the word "request,"
[16:09] Senjougahara
then call it a condition.
[16:10] Senjougahara
A condition required before
I'll take you to Kaiki.
[16:13] Senjougahara
What will you do?
[16:14] Araragi
I'll do it.
[16:16] Araragi
I'll do it gladly, no matter what
it is or how many there are.
[16:19] Hachikuji
I have just one request, Araragi-kun.
[16:23] Hachikuji
By meeting with Kaiki, I intend
to resolve things with myself.
[16:28] Hachikuji
Just like my master cut...
[16:29] Hachikuji
I mean, Hanekawa-san cut her hair.
[16:31] Araragi
That is a remarkable mistake to make.
SIGN My Master
[16:34] Araragi
And not anything I can pretend I didn't hear!
[16:35] Senjougahara
I am not being threatened.
[16:36] Araragi
You're being threatened? By Hanekawa?!
[16:38] Senjougahara
No matter where I am,
[16:40] Senjougahara
it's natural that I should kneel
before Hanekawa-san.
[16:43] Araragi
No matter where you are?
[16:44] Senjougahara
Just as Hanekawa-san...
[16:46] Senjougahara
As Hanekawa-san cut her hair.
[16:49] Senjougahara
Just as doing that let her move forward,
[16:52] Senjougahara
I'm going to settle things with
my past by meeting Kaiki.
[16:57] Senjougahara
I'm going to move forward.
[17:01] Araragi
So, what's your request?
[17:04] Araragi
What must I do, for you to take me with you?
[17:07] Senjougahara
I can't say yet.
[17:08] Araragi
It's something you can't tell me?
[17:10] Senjougahara
Once things are settled with Kaiki,
[17:12] Senjougahara
no matter what the outcome,
[17:13] Senjougahara
I'll tell you then.
[17:15] Araragi
Then there's no difference if you say it now.
[17:17] Senjougahara
If I said it now, it wouldn't be foreshadowing.
[17:20] Araragi
It's foreshadowing?!
[17:21] Senjougahara
That's right.
[17:22] Senjougahara
After you die, I'll have to spend
[17:25] Senjougahara
the rest of my life alone, regretting
that I didn't say anything now.
[17:28] Araragi
It's foreshadowing my death?
[17:30] Senjougahara
That's right.
[17:31] Senjougahara
And in the climactic scene,
[17:33] Senjougahara
the telescope you gave me for
[17:35] Senjougahara
my birthday features as an important item.
[17:38] Araragi
There isn't a scene involving a telescope!
[17:42] Araragi
Just tell me what it is...
[17:43] Araragi
Screw the foreshadowing!
[17:44] Senjougahara
Then let's forget the whole thing.
[17:48] Araragi
Fine... I'll do it.
[17:49] Senjougahara
All right.
[17:51] Senjougahara
Then let's go.

Let's protect each other.

Then I'll be going back to my house.
[18:02] Senjougahara
Very well.
[18:03] Senjougahara
Then come back in the early evening.
[18:05] Araragi
Yeah.
[18:06] Araragi
Don't do anything on your own, okay?
[18:08] Senjougahara
Of course not.

Don't worry.

to hear my request.
[18:19] Senjougahara
I might lie, but I'll keep my promise.

All right...

Well, then that's okay.

Yes.
[18:27] Senjougahara
This is a trade.

Even I'm starting to get a little tired.
[18:33] Senjougahara
You've been up all night,
[18:35] Senjougahara
even if you were unconscious for a while.
[18:37] Senjougahara
Kaiki isn't someone you can
deal with on no sleep.
[18:42] Araragi
Well, I think I deal with no
sleep better than most.
[18:46] Araragi
As a former vampire.
[18:47] Senjougahara
But rest up anyway.
[18:50] Senjougahara
You might not be able to sleep tonight.
[19:00] Tsukihi
Onii-chan?

Oh, you're up?

Good morning.

When I got up...
[19:09] Tsukihi
She wasn't there...
[19:12] Tsukihi
And she can't be fully healed yet!
[19:14] Araragi
Calm down, Tsukihi-chan!
[19:17] Senjougahara
Her shoes are gone,
[19:18] Senjougahara
and it looks like she changed her clothes...
[19:20] Araragi
Calm down.
[19:21] Araragi
Do you have any idea where she'd go?
[19:22] Araragi
Anywhere she'd be likely to go?
[19:25] Tsukihi
None...
[19:26] Tsukihi
I think she'd go to that Kaiki guy's place.
[19:29] Tsukihi
But I don't know where he is...
[19:34] Araragi
Does that mean Karen-chan does?
[19:37] Tsukihi
She shouldn't.
[19:38] Tsukihi
She let him go once.
[19:42] Araragi
I'll look for her.
[19:44] Araragi
You wait at home.
[19:46] Tsukihi
But I want to go, too.
[19:48] Araragi
If you find her, there's a risk she'll
persuade you to go with her.
[19:53] Tsukihi
You really don't trust me, do you?
[19:55] Araragi
I don't.
[19:57] Araragi
But I do worry.
[20:01] Araragi
But more than that, I'm mad!
[20:09] Araragi
Think.
[20:11] Araragi
If I were Karen, what would I do?
[20:13] Araragi
First, I'd want to get away from the house.

that panic is transmitted directly to me.

Shinobu,
[20:37] Araragi
do you know what's going on?
[20:38] Shinobu
Basically.
[20:40] Shinobu
Your sister's almost as reckless as you are...
[20:47] Shinobu
Come to think of it,
[20:49] Shinobu
you once searched for me when I was lost.
[20:52] Shinobu
I remember those days.
[20:55] Araragi
Can I ask if you're going to help me?
[20:57] Shinobu
Ha ha.
[20:58] Shinobu
Unfortunately,
[21:00] Shinobu
I'm not in a position to refuse
any request you make.
[21:04] Shinobu
The question of which of us is the master
[21:06] Shinobu
is a complicated one,
[21:08] Shinobu
but you're certainly the stronger.
[21:10] Shinobu
I've told you a bunch of times that
[21:11] Shinobu
the bonds of a vampire are
bonds of the soul, right?
[21:14] Shinobu
Thus,
[21:16] Shinobu
for any order you give me,
[21:18] Shinobu
no matter how much I may
want to refuse, I cannot.
[21:22] Araragi
It isn't an order.
[21:23] Araragi
I'm not in a position to order you.
[21:26] Shinobu
Then I won't do it, idiot.
[21:28] Shinobu
What you just saw
[21:29] Shinobu
was me saying I'd help you,
but I'd rather not say so myself.
[21:33] Shinobu
So please allow me to save face
by calling it an order.
[21:37] Shinobu
Why couldn't you tell?
[21:39] Shinobu
My showing up right now,
when I should clearly
[21:43] Shinobu
be sleeping was obviously
so that I could help you.
[21:49] Araragi
You're a tsundere, too.
[21:53] Araragi
Then it's an order.
[21:54] Araragi
Get off your ass, and find out
where Karen-chan is, already!
[21:57] Shinobu
Oh, no... Oh, no.
[21:59] Shinobu
What cruel fate forces me
to obey the orders
[22:03] Shinobu
of a lesser being like this human?
[22:05] Shinobu
But I cannot disobey an order...
[22:11] Shinobu
You can't do anything without me around.
[22:15] Shinobu
You're so cute.
[22:18] Shinobu
Ha ha.

Your sister's blood is structurally
similar to yours.

She doesn't seem to have gone very far...

I'll listen later.
[00:39] Koyomi
I'll sit beside you, peeling apples,
[00:41] Koyomi
while you rest.
[00:43] Karen
Come to think of it,
[00:45] ---
it's been a long time since
I've had a real, serious
[00:47] ---
fight with you!
SIGN Episode 7: Karen Bee, Part 7
[00:55] Koyomi
Don't be stupid.
[00:56] Koyomi
I've never been serious
against my little sister.
[01:00] Koyomi
This isn't the dojo.
[01:03] Koyomi
And you're not in great shape,
SIGN Stung by Supernatural Bee
[01:05] Koyomi
[01:05] Koyomi
right?
[01:06] Karen
Great shape?
[01:07] Karen
You've got that right.
[01:09] Karen
My head's all stuffed up,
and my whole body is hot.
[01:13] Karen
It feels like my clothes are
about to catch fire.
[01:15] Karen
My muscles ache, and I can barely walk.
[01:19] Karen
And maybe there isn't enough moisture
[01:21] ---
in my eyes, 'cause you look all blurry.
[01:24] Karen
The next time I blink, I might
never open my eyes again.
[01:28] Karen
So I'm in the best shape of my life!
[01:32] Koyomi
Pretty cool...
[01:33] Koyomi
If you weren't my sister,
I'd fall in love with you.
[01:36] Karen
If you weren't my brother,
I might be able to hold back!
SIGN
[01:49] Karen
Thanks, Nii-chan...
[01:51] Karen
That woke me up!
[01:53] Karen
There are twenty minutes till
the next bus comes.
[01:57] Karen
Nii-chan, should I call you an ambulance?
[01:59] Koyomi
Hell, no.
[02:00] Koyomi
The one who'll be taking the ambulance...
[02:04] ---
is you!
[02:05] Karen
No way.
[02:06] Karen
How can he stand?
[02:07] Karen
That could've killed him.
[02:09] Karen
I was told never to use it outside the dojo...
[02:12] Koyomi
Then I think it's time they kicked you out!
[02:14] Karen
Don't try and stop me!
[02:27] Karen
By the way, Nii-chan...
SIGN When Your Body Feels Hot
[02:29] Karen
When you say, "Your body feels hot,"
[02:32] Karen
don't you think it seems kinda naughty?
[02:34] Koyomi
I don't...
[02:37] Karen
Because
[02:37] Karen
"hot" is the first three letters of "hotel"!
[02:39] Koyomi
Are you my junior?!
SIGN Naughtiness in the Athletic Storeroom
A beast of lust arrives!
SIGN Talk to us about anything

Hey, master...
SIGN Recreation
[02:58] Shinobu
Did I not tell you?
[03:00] Shinobu
Just as your fears are transmitted to me directly,
[03:05] Shinobu
I feel your pain, as well.
[03:11] Koyomi
Put up with it for a little longer.
SIGN Recreation
[03:13] Shinobu
If you order me to, I will act.
[03:16] Koyomi
Here's your order: do nothing.
SIGN Recreation
[03:19] Shinobu
You ask the hardest things...
[03:22] Koyomi
I'll pat your head later.
SIGN Recreation
[03:25] Shinobu
That isn't enough.
[03:26] Shinobu
I request a ritual one level higher.
[03:31] Koyomi
I didn't know there was one.
SIGN Recreation
[03:32] Koyomi
Out of curiosity, what is it?
[03:35] Shinobu
Don't pat my head...
[03:39] Shinobu
Rub my breasts.

[03:43] Koyomi
Why didn't you say that to me

when you were still an adult?!
SIGN Punch
[03:55] Karen
Give it up, already.
[03:57] Karen
It hurts my fists when I punch you...
[04:00] Koyomi
Forget that.
[04:01] Koyomi
It hurts me when you punch me.
[04:04] Karen
You can't beat me, Nii-chan.
[04:07] Koyomi
You can't beat me, Karen-chan.
[04:09] Karen
This is your chance to surrender, Nii-chan!
[04:12] Koyomi
It's way too late for that line.
[04:16] Karen
My fists hurt, so I'm going
to stop punching you.
[04:26] Karen
Not bad, Nii-chan!
[04:34] Koyomi
Hey!
[04:54] Karen
You get it now, right?
[04:56] Karen
You can't beat me, Nii-chan!
[04:58] Koyomi
You're the one who needs to get it...
[05:01] Koyomi
You can't beat me, Karen-chan!
[05:04] Karen
The good guy always wins, right?
[05:07] Karen
Doesn't that mean that whoever
wins is right, Nii-chan?
[05:10] Karen
So if I beat you, I can go?
[05:13] Koyomi
That way of thinking is dangerous.
[05:16] Koyomi
It's about as far from justice as you can get.
[05:19] Karen
What are you talking about?
[05:20] Karen
You always say that, don't you?
[05:22] Karen
Like a big arrogant jerk.
[05:24] Koyomi
What do I say?
[05:26] Karen
About Tsukihi-chan and me...
[05:28] Karen
We're right, but we aren't strong.
[05:31] Karen
And the good guys always win,
so you can't lose.
SIGN Fakes
[05:35] Karen
You always talk like you're so
much better than we are!
[05:40] Karen
So I tried to make it so I wouldn't lose...
[05:42] Koyomi
Oh, that?
[05:44] Koyomi
That's correct.
[05:45] Koyomi
You're right.
[05:47] Koyomi
But you aren't strong.
[05:48] Karen
I am strong...
[05:49] Karen
Stronger than you, if nothing else.
[05:51] Koyomi
Physically strong means nothing.
[05:54] Koyomi
To be the real thing,
[05:56] Koyomi
you need a strong will.
[05:58] Koyomi
When you say you can't forgive Kaiki,
where is your will?
[06:03] Koyomi
You two are always trying to help others.
[06:06] Koyomi
You're always doing it for someone else.
[06:08] Koyomi
There's no will of your own there.
[06:10] Karen
No!
[06:11] Karen
We're doing what we think is right.
[06:15] Karen
Everyone else is just the reason.
[06:17] Koyomi
Don't make me laugh!
[06:19] Koyomi
How can someone who seeks
[06:20] ---
a reason from another person be right?
[06:23] Koyomi
While you're forcing that reason
[06:24] ---
on someone else, how can
you take responsibility?
[06:27] Koyomi
You're not good, and you're not heroes.
[06:31] Koyomi
You're just kids playing a game!
SIGN Fakes
[06:34] Koyomi
Fakes.
[06:36] Koyomi
You never go after evil people, just villains.
[06:40] Koyomi
Am I wrong?
[06:41] Karen
You are!
[06:42] Karen
You don't know anything, so shut up.
[06:44] Karen
Tsubasa-san would understand...
[06:47] Karen
She knows everything!
[06:49] Koyomi
She doesn't know everything.
[06:51] Koyomi
All she knows
[06:53] Koyomi
is what she knows.
[06:55] Koyomi
If you can't give up the idea of self-sacrifice
and be content with self-satisfaction,
[06:59] Koyomi
you need to shut up.
[07:00] Koyomi
It gives me a headache to hear you talk.
[07:03] Karen
What's wrong with doing
something for someone else?
[07:06] Karen
What's wrong with self-sacrifice?
[07:08] Karen
Even if... Even if we're fakes,
what's wrong with that?
[07:13] Karen
Has it ever caused any trouble for you?!
[07:16] Koyomi
For a long time now.
[07:18] Koyomi
But...
[07:21] Koyomi
I never said it was wrong.
[07:24] Koyomi
If you're prepared to live with a sense
of inferiority for the rest of your life,
[07:27] Koyomi
then even if you're a fake,
isn't that the same as being real?
[07:31] Koyomi
Just so we're clear, I hate you two.
[07:34] Koyomi
But I'm always proud of you.
[07:37] Karen
Nii-chan.
[07:38] Koyomi
You said he made you mad, right?
[07:41] Koyomi
I heard you...
[07:43] Koyomi
However, I'm much madder...
[07:47] Koyomi
He hurt something I'm
proud of, and he'll pay.
[07:49] Koyomi
Leave the rest to me!
[07:51] Karen
I'm mad, but I also feel pathetic.
[07:54] Karen
Making you clean up after my mess...
[07:56] Koyomi
You can't even clean up your own sweat.
Don't worry about it.
[08:00] Koyomi
Cleaning up after their
[08:01] ---
little sister is an honor for a big brother.
[08:05] Koyomi
This time, I'll show you being cool.
[08:08] Koyomi
Make sure you don't fall in love.
[08:10] Koyomi
It'd be incestuous...
[08:12] Karen
I'm already in love, Nii-chan.
[08:17] Karen
You take care of the rest.
SIGN Black Scene
SIGN 7/30 Sunday
SIGN After that, I carried Karen home on my back.
I don't think she'll be running off again,
but just in case, I wrote "Any man will do"
on her face with permanent marker, so she can't leave.
(While I was at it, I wrote "Wearing a bra is a pain,
so I'm not" on Tsukihi's. She shares responsibility, too.)
Then I went to meet up with Senjougahara again. Then...
[08:29] Kaiki
Aren't you the one I met in front
of the Gaen child's house?
SIGN Fine-ground and Deep-roasted
[08:35] Kaiki
You're here about your sister?
SIGN Naughty Ferris Wheel
[08:37] Kaiki
A very manly child, then.
Rare these days.
[08:42] Kaiki
Your charm is gone, Senjougahara.
[08:46] Kaiki
You've become a normal girl.
[08:48] Suruga
What?
[08:49] Suruga
I never wanted to see you again.
[08:52] Suruga
Actually, that's a lie.
[08:54] Suruga
I never wanted to see you in the first place.
[08:59] Suruga
But I can say this now...
[09:04] Suruga
I've been wanting to see you, Kaiki-san.
[09:06] Kaiki
I didn't want to see you,
[09:08] Kaiki
now that you're just a normal girl.
SIGN Naughty Ferris Wheel
[09:12] Kaiki
The last time we met,
you shone like darkness.
[09:16] Kaiki
No, better to say you'd attained
a level of enlightenment.
[09:19] Kaiki
Someone well worth deceiving...
[09:21] Kaiki
Stop. Let's talk.
[09:23] Kaiki
I've come to talk.
[09:25] Kaiki
So did you, right?
[09:27] Kaiki
Am I wrong?
[09:30] Kaiki
Very well. I get it...
[09:33] Kaiki
I'll stop cheating the middle schoolers.
[09:35] Kaiki
And I won't spread the charms anymore.
[09:40] Kaiki
And that lively little girl,
[09:42] ---
your sister... Don't worry
about her, Araragi.
[09:46] Kaiki
It's called instant hypnosis.
[09:49] Kaiki
She'll recover her health within
the next three days.
[09:52] Kaiki
And, Senjougahara...
[09:54] Kaiki
I'll officially apologize for what
happened with your mother.
[09:58] Kaiki
And I'll do my best to return the money
[10:02] ---
taken from your father.
[10:09] Suruga
That's quite gracious of you...
[10:12] Suruga
Did you really think I'd believe it?
[10:14] Suruga
You don't seem repentant at all.
[10:18] Suruga
Not the slightest bit.
[10:20] Kaiki
Don't I?
[10:21] Kaiki
Come to think of it,
I didn't actually apologize.
[10:25] Kaiki
Or beg for my life.
[10:28] Kaiki
Sorry, very sorry, guys.
[10:30] Kaiki
I'm very repentant.
[10:32] Kaiki
Very sorry.
[10:33] Suruga
I'm supposed to believe that
half-hearted apology?
[10:37] Suruga
Every word you say is a lie.
[10:40] Kaiki
Perhaps.
[10:42] Suruga
I'd prefer if you didn't upset me.
[10:44] Suruga
I'm doing everything I can to hold
myself back right now.
[10:47] Suruga
Refraining from killing you is very difficult.
[10:51] Kaiki
So it seems.
[10:52] Kaiki
And it's in that respect that
you've become normal.
[10:59] Kaiki
The old you would never have held back.
[11:03] Suruga
I won't ask you to return the money.
[11:06] Suruga
That won't bring my family back.
[11:09] Kaiki
You won't?
[11:11] Kaiki
That's great.

[11:29] Kaiki
Why do you look at me with those eyes?
[11:32] Kaiki
I hurt your sister.
[11:35] Kaiki
Shouldn't I see more hatred in them?
[11:39] Koyomi
She got what was coming to her.
[11:42] Koyomi
It's her fault for getting involved
with someone like you.
[11:45] Suruga
That's not true.
[11:46] Suruga
Her mistake was coming to see me alone.
[11:50] Suruga
If she wanted to get me, she should have
[11:52] ---
come with greater numbers,
just as you have.
[11:56] Suruga
In most other respects, she was right.
[12:02] Suruga
Or, Araragi, did you decide on
your own that she is a fool,
[12:06] Suruga
thereby denying her?
[12:10] Koyomi
I think she's right. Just...
[12:12] Kaiki
She isn't strong?
[12:14] Kaiki
True, she isn't.
[12:16] Kaiki
But denying her kindness is a mistake.
[12:20] Kaiki
And...
[12:23] Kaiki
And without girls like that around,
[12:25] Kaiki
I'd be out of business as a con man.
[12:29] Suruga
So why is a con man like that
[12:32] ---
doing what I want?
[12:34] Suruga
It would be easy to talk me into
doing whatever you wished.
[12:37] Suruga
Like before.
[12:38] Kaiki
Senjougahara,
[12:39] Kaiki
you have the wrong idea about me.
[12:42] Kaiki
No, you have the right idea.
You merely overestimate me.
[12:46] Kaiki
The person you view as your enemy
[12:49] ---
is just a pathetic, middle-aged man.
[12:51] Kaiki
Even as a con man,
he's a minor and shabby one.
[12:54] Kaiki
Or did I seem to you like
some sort of monster?
[12:58] Suruga
Of course not.
SIGN Black Scene

I'm a fake.
[13:12] Kaiki
I'm no one special.

Nor are you.
[13:16] Kaiki
There's nothing dramatic about me

I'd like to ask you a question.

you've taken half of your

[13:42] Kaiki
Madness...
[13:43] Kaiki
To do something so risky for no money.
[13:47] Koyomi
Which are you?
[13:50] Kaiki
Which am I?
[13:51] Koyomi
Do you know about the supernatural?
[13:55] Kaiki
That's a less interesting question
than I expected...
[13:58] Kaiki
You're ruining my fun, Araragi.
[14:00] Kaiki
For example, do you believe in ghosts?
[14:03] Kaiki
You understand the mind of someone
[14:05] ---
who doesn't believe in ghosts,
[14:07] ---
but is still scared of them, right?
[14:09] Kaiki
I'm something similar.
[14:11] Kaiki
So let me answer your question this way...
[14:14] Kaiki
I know nothing about the supernatural.
[14:16] Kaiki
But I know those who do know.
[14:19] Kaiki
That is all.
[14:21] Kaiki
More precisely, I simply know
those who think they know.
[14:28] Kaiki
The wreathe-fire bee.
[14:30] Kaiki
Ever heard of the wreathe-fire bee?
[14:33] Koyomi
A monster from around the 15th century
or something, wasn't it?
[14:36] Koyomi
When a strange plague was explained
[14:37] ---
as the work of a supernatural monster.
[14:40] Kaiki
Correct.
[14:41] Kaiki
However, wrong.
[14:43] Kaiki
The wreathe-fire bee is a monster
recorded in Chapter 15

[15:28] Kaiki
Let me be clear...
[15:31] Kaiki
Don't involve me in your delusions.
[15:35] Kaiki
It's a nuisance.
[15:39] Koyomi
He's a fake.
[15:42] Koyomi
Just like Senjougahara said
[15:43] Koyomi
and he said,
[15:45] Koyomi
he's decided to live his entire life
with a sense of inferiority.
[15:48] Koyomi
A proud fake.
[15:50] Kaiki
And you've taken half of it upon yourself.
[15:53] Kaiki
It may not even take three days.
[15:56] Kaiki
I don't know how you did it,
but that's impressive.
[16:00] Kaiki
But that means, Araragi,
SIGN Naughty Ferris Wheel
[16:02] Kaiki
that you and I will never
accept one another.
[16:06] Kaiki
It's far worse than water and oil.
[16:08] Kaiki
We're fire and oil.
[16:09] Koyomi
Who's fire and who's oil?
[16:12] Kaiki
I don't know.
[16:13] Kaiki
Since neither of us really seems like fire,
[16:15] Kaiki
why not rubidium and water instead?
[16:19] Kaiki
And I'm the rubidium.
[16:21] Koyomi
So I'm water?
[16:23] Koyomi
Then the fire is Karen and Tsukihi.
[16:27] Koyomi
Fire and fire...
[16:28] Koyomi
Together, they become an inferno,
[16:29] Koyomi
the Fire Sisters.
[16:31] Suruga
Your phone.
[16:34] Suruga
Give me your phone.
[16:41] Kaiki
That was horrible of you.
[16:43] Kaiki
Now I won't be able to help those
poor middle schoolers...
[16:47] Kaiki
I wouldn't know how to reach them.
[16:51] Suruga
I'm not asking you to help kids
I don't even know.
[16:55] Suruga
Araragi-kun, I'm about to say the
most horrible thing in the world.
[17:03] Suruga
It's their fault for being tricked.
[17:07] Suruga
I'm not a hero or a good guy.
[17:09] Suruga
I'm just an enemy of evil.
[17:13] Suruga
You can't do anything for the victims, anyway.
[17:16] Suruga
Even if you tried,
[17:18] ---
you'd only end up stealing more from them.
[17:21] Kaiki
I'm sure I would.
[17:23] Kaiki
I'm a con man.
[17:24] Kaiki
The whole atonement thing
was a lie, as well.
[17:26] Kaiki
You probably don't want to understand this,
[17:28] Kaiki
but for me, making money isn't
a matter of profit and loss.
[17:32] Suruga
That's the part of you...
[17:35] Kaiki
The "part of me" you what?
[17:39] Kaiki
No answer?
[17:40] Kaiki
You really have grown up to be boring...
[17:44] Kaiki
Dramatic or not, you used to be wonderful.
[17:48] Kaiki
And now you're just boring.
[17:51] Kaiki
Heavier and fatter, though.

Shut up.
[17:55] Suruga
I don't care what you say about the old me.
[17:57] Suruga
But don't insult me as I am now.
[18:00] Suruga
Araragi-kun says he loves me.
[18:04] Suruga
He loves me as I am now.
[18:06] Suruga
Therefore, I like me as I am, too.
[18:09] Suruga
So I cannot ignore anything you
say that would damage me.
[18:13] Kaiki
What?
[18:15] Kaiki
So you two are like that.
[18:17] Kaiki
I see... I see.
[18:18] Kaiki
So that's it...
[18:20] Kaiki
Then I've nothing more to say.
[18:22] Kaiki
I don't wish to interfere with
a budding relationship.
[18:24] Kaiki
If you're not going to ask for it,
I won't attempt to atone.
[18:27] Kaiki
I don't want to do anything that
won't get me any money.
[18:30] Kaiki
I'll leave town.
[18:33] Kaiki
I'll be gone tomorrow.
[18:35] Kaiki
That's good enough, isn't it, Senjougahara?
[18:37] Kaiki
Oh, yes... Senjougahara.
[18:39] Kaiki
Let me tell you something.
[18:41] Suruga
I don't want to hear it.
[18:42] Kaiki
The man who once tried to rape you...
[18:45] Kaiki
He was hit by a car and died.
[18:47] Kaiki
In a place that had nothing to do with you,
[18:49] Kaiki
in a way that had nothing to do with you.
[18:52] Kaiki
And with no drama at all.
[18:55] Kaiki
That's all there is to the past that
[18:58] ---
you spend so much time worrying about.
[19:00] Kaiki
There's nothing even worth settling.
[19:04] Kaiki
The lesson for you here is not to expect
anything dramatic from life.
[19:08] Suruga
That's another lie, of course.
[19:10] Suruga
The man who'd forgotten about me
until this morning
[19:12] ---
wouldn't know a thing about the
man who tried to rape me.
[19:16] Kaiki
Senjougahara, try to see past
the surface of things.
[19:20] Kaiki
It's possible that the fact that I'd forgotten
[19:23] ---
about you was a lie, right?
[19:26] Suruga
A lie...

That's a lie.

Does it matter if it's a lie?
[19:30] Kaiki
There's no such thing as truth in this world.

Don't worry.
[19:35] Kaiki
The fact that you were once in love with me
[19:37] Kaiki
doesn't count as cheating.
[19:40] Kaiki
It isn't fair to me if you hate me,
in an attempt
[19:43] ---
at loyalty to your current lover.
[19:46] Kaiki
I'll say it again.
[19:47] Kaiki
The past is merely the past.
[19:49] Kaiki
There's no value in overcoming it
or catching up to it.
[19:52] Kaiki
A woman like you shouldn't be bound
by such stupid emotions.
[19:56] Kaiki
Just be happy with the man you have.
[19:59] Kaiki
Farewell.
[20:04] Koyomi
You fell in love with him?
[20:06] Suruga
What was that?
[20:08] Suruga
Araragi-kun, did you just attempt
[20:10] ---
to confirm the virginity of
the girl you're dating?
[20:13] Suruga
Of course not.
[20:15] Suruga
That would never happen.
[20:16] Suruga
He's simply mistaken.
[20:18] Suruga
What an insult.
[20:20] Suruga
Disgusting...
[20:21] Suruga
But at that time,
[20:24] ---
anyone who attempted to save me
would have seemed a prince,
[20:27] Suruga
no matter what kind of person they were.
[20:30] Suruga
I won't deny that I did feel somewhat
positively toward that con man.
[20:35] Suruga
He was still the first...
[20:37] Suruga
I've discussed this before,
so I won't dwell on it.
[20:41] Suruga
If anyone other than you had saved me,
[20:45] Suruga
it's possible I would've fallen
in love with them, too.
[20:50] Suruga
When I think about that, it infuriates me.
[20:53] Suruga
I'm so glad you were the one who did...
[20:57] Koyomi
Oshino would say that you just
got saved by yourself.
[21:02] Suruga
Possibly.
[21:03] Suruga
Let's go home.
[21:04] Suruga
It's getting late.
[21:06] Koyomi
Oh, right, Senjougahara...
[21:08] Koyomi
Before we leave, tell me
that request you had.
[21:11] Koyomi
What are you going to make me do?
[21:14] Suruga
Nothing special.
[21:15] Suruga
I didn't need that con man to tell me.
[21:17] Suruga
It's possible that my past isn't
worth settling things with.
[21:22] Suruga
But I just did.
[21:28] Suruga
That's what I think.
[21:31] Koyomi
Settled, huh?
[21:32] Suruga
Compliment me.
[21:33] Koyomi
That's your request?
[21:37] Suruga
No.
[21:38] Suruga
A compliment from someone like you means
[21:40] ---
absolutely nothing to me.
[21:42] Suruga
But you seem to have forgotten
to fulfill your obvious duty.
[21:47] Suruga
I simply reminded you.
[21:48] Koyomi
Really, are you made of iron or something?
[21:51] Suruga
Iron?
[21:53] Suruga
Of course not.
[21:54] Suruga
I am a soft, cute girl.

After everything that scum said to me,
I am terribly hurt.

That Kaiki was gone from the city.

And thus, there would be no more victims.

Where are you two yuri sisters going?
[22:48] Karen
Even with the con man gone,
[22:50] ---
that doesn't mean the charms
will just disappear.
[22:52] Karen
And the damage they did
[22:54] ---
to people's relationships won't heal itself.
[22:56] Karen
The fact that there are no more victims
[22:58] ---
doesn't help the victims already there.

So we want to start cleaning up the mess.

Don't let your game get out of hand.

But I have no intention of introducing
my sister to Kanbaru.

Psychologically, you have to be fairly close

to someone before you'd allow
them to touch your hair.

I've heard that some girls are more against

having their hair touched than their bodies
[13:45] Karen
What of it?
[13:46] Koyomi
It's called "touching."
[13:48] Koyomi
The most obvious example is hair-cutting.
[13:51] Koyomi
Another example is tooth-brushing.
[13:55] Koyomi
A moment ago, you didn't
think it was a big deal.
[13:58] ---
But usually, having someone else brush
your teeth is out of the question.
[14:02] Koyomi
Normally, you can do it yourself,
and normally, you do.
[14:07] Koyomi
In other words, Karen-chan,
[14:09] ---
having someone else brush your teeth
[14:11] ---
generates major psychological resistance.

If you can withstand
[14:17] ---
that psychological resistance for
five minutes, you win.
[14:21] Koyomi
If you do, I'll introduce you to Kanbaru.
[14:24] Koyomi
If you cry uncle before the
five minutes are up, I win.
[14:27] Koyomi
And I won't introduce you...
[14:32] Karen
Is that all?
[14:33] Karen
You made such a big deal out of it,
[14:36] ---
even I was starting to get a little scared.
[14:38] Karen
I'm a bit disappointed.
[14:40] Koyomi
Are you?
[14:41] Karen
Sure! It sounds great to me.
[14:44] Karen
I mean, I wouldn't want a
total stranger doing it,
[14:48] ---
but you'll be doing it. Right, Nii-chan?
[14:50] Karen
Then I'll be fine.
[14:53] Karen
I'll clarify this.
[14:54] ---
No matter what you do to me,
I won't be embarrassed.
[14:59] Koyomi
If I give up before time expires, you win.
[15:03] Karen
For an introduction to the
great Kanbaru-sensei,
[15:06] ---
I think this is a bit too easy.
[15:09] Karen
Actually, I'd hoped for something
more challenging.
[15:14] Koyomi
Okay, then we can start, right?
[15:17] Koyomi
Sit down there.
[15:18] Karen
Okay!
[15:27] Koyomi
Ahhh.
[15:29] Karen
Ahhh.
[15:32] Koyomi
Now, feel the terror
[15:35] ---
of the great Kanbaru-sensei for yourself.
[15:38] Koyomi
Kanbaru-sensei's fetishistic ideas
will lead to your defeat.
[15:41] Koyomi
You must be overjoyed.
[15:56] Koyomi
Did you just now understand?
[15:58] Koyomi
But it isn't too late, Karen-chan.
[16:01] Koyomi
I'm not messing with the
exterior of your body.
[16:04] ---
I'm messing with the interior.
[16:06] Koyomi
To simplify this,
[16:08] ---
it brings you pleasure.
[16:10] Koyomi
Thin hairs are stimulating
[16:12] ---
the delicate parts of your body,
[16:15] Koyomi
so it must feel good.
[16:39] Koyomi
Not bad...
[16:41] Koyomi
It makes me want to try harder.
[16:47] Koyomi
If you give up now, Karen-chan,
you'll feel good.
[16:51] Koyomi
Or rather, you'll stop feeling good!
[17:04] Koyomi
Oh, no...
[17:05] Koyomi
Hearing her moan makes
me feel really weird...
[17:10] Koyomi
It makes my heart race!

Was Karen always this cute?
[17:39] Koyomi
Huh? Huh? Huh?
[17:40] Koyomi
This is just a possibility,

but could my sister be the

Why is Karen-chan wearing my clothes and

happily smiling, while being pushed

Why am I pushing my little sister into

the bed with a smile,

Why am I wearing my little sister's clothes,

pushes me into the bed?!

What a surprise!

Y-You saved us, Tsukihi-chan!

Thank you!
[20:14] Tsukihi
Would the judge be merciful?

Would there be room for
extenuating circumstances?

Let there at least be a stay of execution,

[20:24] Tsukihi
Would you two stay like that,
just for a moment?
[20:28] Tsukihi
I'm running to the convenience
store to buy an awl.
[20:31] Koyomi
There would not be.
[20:33] Koyomi
We were given the death penalty.
[20:37] Karen
Tsukihi-chan, I don't think they sell
awls at the convenience store.
[20:41] Karen
You'd have to go to a specialty goods store!

Oh, sorry.

I-If you really insist,
and only because you insist,
[21:44] ---
we can go best out of three.
[21:47] Karen
You know, Tsukihi-chan interrupted midway.
[21:51] Karen
That normally means it's a tie.
[21:54] Karen
A-And there's still time before
Tsukihi-chan gets back...
[21:59] Karen
We can go into extra innings if you want.
[22:03] ---
Uh...

O-Okay, maybe I will...
[22:10] Karen
Y-Yeah.

And after barely escaping Tsukihi's awls,

[00:44] Koyomi
Don't take the thought, either...
[00:45] Koyomi
You can't have anything of my sister's!

And so, with some difficulty,

But you know,

Don't bother.
[03:33] Koyomi
It's a pain.
[03:34] Karen
No, we have to...
[03:36] Karen
Or there's a possibility that later,
you'll say, "I deliberately lost!"

is just as hard as always winning.

Paper!
[05:10] Karen

Do you get it, Nii-chan?

and then you put out your hand.

who was waiting for the "scissors," go late.

using the game's very name to
cause your opponent to go late.

rock, paper, or scissors,
[05:29] ---
since you've put your fist out too late,

you don't think you've cut off

Your calves were pressing into
my breasts, and it felt weird.

Nothing special, I suppose...
[13:15] Yozuru
First, to establish a base of operations.
[13:20] Yozuru
Goodbye then, devil boy.
[13:26] Yozuru
Oh, right...
[13:27] Yozuru
You might get asked the same sort of thing
[13:30] ---
by a girl about this high.
[13:34] Yozuru
Be as kind to her as you were to me.
[13:49] Yozuru
What?
[13:50] Yozuru
You've been really quiet, Karen-chan.
[13:57] Yozuru
What's wrong?
[13:58] Yozuru
Don't make me deal with a
strange human like that alone!
[14:01] Karen
Oh, sorry.
[14:03] Karen
I was just thinking she was really strong.
[14:07] Karen
So I was readying myself.
[14:08] Koyomi
Strong?
[14:10] Koyomi
Really?
[14:11] Koyomi
She didn't look it.
[14:13] Koyomi
Except for the way she acted and spoke,
[14:15] Koyomi
she seemed like just an ordinary pretty woman.
[14:19] Karen
Her center of gravity stayed constant,
[14:22] ---
the entire time she was chatting with you.
[14:24] Karen
She had the balance of a figure skater.
[14:27] Koyomi
But you also walk along the
tops of walls, right?
[14:31] Koyomi
And while handstanding.
[14:33] Karen
Yeah, that's true...
[14:36] Karen
But she's spent a lot of time training.
[14:38] Karen
Her fists were perfectly shaped
for punching people.
[14:42] Koyomi
W-Were they?
[14:44] Karen
Yeah. If she hit a car's bumper,
she could set off the airbags.
SIGN Goodbye SRS
[14:50] Karen
She's probably as good as my teacher...
[14:54] Karen
I couldn't beat her myself.
[14:56] Koyomi
My, Karen-san...
[14:58] Koyomi
You're sounding pretty wimpy.
SIGN Black Scene
[14:59] Karen
I can tell any difference in strength,
[15:02] Karen
so long as my opponent isn't evil.
[15:04] Koyomi
I see.
[15:06] Karen
But I don't know for sure that she isn't.
[15:17] Koyomi
After that, I took Karen to
Kanbaru's front gate,
[15:21] ---
and introduced them to each other.
[15:25] Koyomi
This is Kanbaru Suruga-san,
a second-year at Naoetsu High.
[15:28] Koyomi
She's a pervert, so be careful.
[15:30] Koyomi
This is Araragi Karen-san, a third-year
at Tsuganoki 2nd Middle School.
[15:34] Koyomi
She's an idiot, so be careful.
[15:38] Koyomi
Don't both blush at the same time...
[15:40] Koyomi
Those weren't compliments!
SIGN Sister Brother
[15:42] Koyomi
After seeing my sister to Kanbaru's,
[15:44] Koyomi
I started home without any handstanding
or riding on someone's shoulders,
SIGN Hachikuji Mayoi
5-3
[15:48] ---
when I found Hachikuji.
[15:56] Koyomi
Jeez...
[15:58] Koyomi
I'm certain you all expect me to leap
on Hachikuji, in a burst of joy...
[16:03] Koyomi
You all expect me to grab a girl,
[16:07] ---
innocent as a newborn fawn, from behind
[16:10] ---
and start rubbing my face against her.
[16:14] Koyomi
No, I admit it.
[16:15] Koyomi
There was a time when I would have.
[16:17] Koyomi
There was.
[16:18] Koyomi
But I'm an adult now.
[16:20] Koyomi
I've no interest in the little girl
called Hachikuji Mayoi.
[16:25] Koyomi
But I suppose, given that
I have no interest in her,
[16:29] Koyomi
I've no particular reason to ignore her...
[16:33] Koyomi
If I ignore her, she may get the impudent
[16:37] ---
and brazen idea that I'm
deliberately ignoring her.
[16:40] Koyomi
In light of this, and only in
light of this, mind you,
[16:42] Koyomi
it may mean that the smartest option
would be to call out and greet her,
[16:46] ---
to prove how disinterested
I am in Hachikuji.
[16:51] Koyomi
Okay, then...
[16:51] Koyomi
With that conclusion reached,
it's time to get started.
[16:55] Koyomi
I'm not hesitant in the least.
[16:57] Koyomi
I have to go home and study,
or Hanekawa will get mad at me.
[17:01] Koyomi
But I'll spare a single minute for Hachikuji.
[17:06] Koyomi
Now...
[17:07] Koyomi
Now it's time to grab her
as hard as I can...
[17:10] Koyomi
To rub my cheek against her...
[17:11] Koyomi
To touch and rub her...
[17:12] Koyomi
To love her as much as I can...
[17:13] Koyomi
Today, I shall embrace Hachikuji!
[17:18] Koyomi
Hachikuji!
[17:29] Hachikuji
Araragi-san!
[17:34] Koyomi
Shinobu, was that you?!
[17:36] Koyomi
Damn! Damn you, damn you, damn you!
[17:38] Koyomi
What were you doing? What?!
[17:39] Koyomi
You screwed it up!
[17:40] Koyomi
You screwed up the biggest event of my life!
[17:42] Koyomi
No more blood for you,
you golden-eyed blondie...
[17:45] Koyomi
I should've abandoned you!
[17:47] Hachikuji
U-Um...
[17:48] Hachikuji
Um, Kikirara-san?
[17:51] Koyomi
Hachikuji,
[17:52] Koyomi
don't confuse my name with that of
the little twin sisters of fancy goods.
[17:55] Koyomi
My name is Araragi.
[17:57] Koyomi
And when I flew past you,
[18:01] Koyomi
you got it right.
[18:03] Hachikuji
Sorry. I bit my tongue.
[18:05] Koyomi
No, you did it deliberately.
[18:07] Karen
I smiled!
[18:09] Koyomi
Too cute!
[18:13] Karen
You're as bad at ad-libbing as ever...
SIGN No Cars
SIGN Off-Limits
Detour
[18:19] Karen
Anyway, Araragi-san, you must
have lots of free time
[18:21] ---
on your hands to be wandering
the city at this hour.
[18:25] Karen
Have you given up on studying?
[18:27] Karen
Wandering?
[18:28] Hachikuji
Have you given up on pretending to study
to make Hanekawa-san like you?
[18:32] Koyomi
That's really mean!
SIGN Failure as a Person
[18:35] Hachikuji
Well, she's not the type
you could fool forever.
[18:40] ---
Let me guess.
[18:41] ---
She realized you were pretending to study
so you could see her in her camisole.
[18:45] ---
Since half your motivation
comes from her boobs.
[18:50] Koyomi
What kind of person do you see me as?
[18:52] Hachikuji
The rest of it is from my hot, curvy body!
[18:56] Koyomi
Where is your body hot and curvy?
[19:00] Koyomi
Your body's more barrel-shaped...
[19:02] ---
You could make some delicious
beef stew out of it.
SIGN Failure as a Person
[19:06] Koyomi
I do like you, but I don't like flat lolis.
SIGN Danger
[19:11] Koyomi
I only talk to you because you have
big boobs, for an elementary schooler.
[19:16] Koyomi
I'm taking a chance on the future of your
[19:19] ---
presently underwhelming bust.
SIGN Failure as a Person
[19:22] Hachikuji
No human being would ever say that.
[19:24] Koyomi
But anyway, Hachikuji...
[19:27] Koyomi
I'm dating Senjougahara,
and I love Hanekawa.
[19:31] Koyomi
But I plan to marry you.
[19:36] Hachikuji
Please don't be the first person
to propose to me!
SIGN Danger Zone
[19:41] Hachikuji
Actually, don't propose to
elementary schoolers.
[19:43] Koyomi
Hmm... No luck, huh?
[19:46] Koyomi
How can I get the overwhelming passion
[19:48] ---
in my chest to reach Hachikuji's heart?
SIGN Danger Zone
[19:51] Koyomi
Touch it directly, maybe?
[19:55] Koyomi
Will fondling them make her understand?
SIGN Black Scene
[19:57] Hachikuji
Oh, my.
SIGN Danger Zone
[19:58] Hachikuji
I sense the presence of something bad.
[20:00] Koyomi
Be careful, Hachikuji.
[20:02] Koyomi
I'm always after your breasts.
[20:04] Koyomi
Given the slightest opportunity, I'd drop
whatever I'm doing, to touch them.
SIGN Karabuki
[20:07] Koyomi
By the way, Karabuki-san.
[20:09] Koyomi
It's true that I plan to clean
Kanbaru's room tomorrow,
[20:12] Koyomi
but that doesn't make me a cleaning
maniac who loves to clean.
[20:16] Koyomi
Don't call me by a name that sounds like
I clean with a dried karabuki cloth...
[20:19] Koyomi
My name is Araragi!
[20:20] Hachikuji
Sorry. I bit my tongue.
[20:22] Koyomi
No, you did it deliberately.
SIGN Failure as a Person
[20:25] Hachikuji
I bit you.
[20:27] Hachikuji
A love-bite?!
[20:29] Hachikuji
Yes!
[20:30] Hachikuji
This time, I ad-libbed a response...
[20:31] Hachikuji
I can do it!
[20:34] Yotsugi
Hey, devil boy.
SIGN No entry.
[20:36] Yotsugi

SIGN No Entry
SIGN Danger Zone
[20:46] Yotsugi
I'm told there's a cram school
[20:48] ---
that went out of business
called Eikou Cram School.
[20:52] Yotsugi
Do you know where it is, devil boy?
[20:58] Yotsugi
I said, with a posed look.
[21:02] Yotsugi
My name is Ononoki Yotsugi.
[21:06] Yotsugi
I said, with a posed look.
[21:09] Koyomi
That's a stupid phrase.
[21:11] Koyomi
And where the hell is your posed look?
SIGN Danger Zone
[21:14] Koyomi
I see. I'm Araragi Koyomi.
[21:17] Yotsugi
Hello, devil boy.
[21:19] Yotsugi
I said, with a posed look.
[21:21] Koyomi
Hi...
[21:23] Koyomi
Um, Eikou Cram School is...
SIGN Construction Sorry for the Trouble
SIGN Turn Right
[21:29] Koyomi
All right. Thank you.
[21:31] Koyomi
You were a big help, devil boy.
[21:33] Koyomi
And snail girl.
[21:35] Koyomi
I said, with a posed look.
SIGN Danger Zone
SIGN Danger Zone
[21:52] Koyomi
Huh?
SIGN Danger Zone
[21:53] Koyomi
Did she just call you "snail girl"?
[21:59] Hachikuji
Yeah, she did.
[22:00] ---
Huh?
[22:01] Koyomi
Isn't that strange?
[22:03] Koyomi
Come to think of it, Kagenui-san...
[22:05] Koyomi
Kagenui Yodzuru...
[22:06] Koyomi
She didn't just call me a devil boy.
[22:09] Koyomi
She said something about Karen.
[22:13] Yozuru
A devilish brother and a hornet sister.
[22:17] Yozuru
Interesting.
SIGN Devil Devil Boy
[22:18] Yozuru
Devil...
[22:22] Yozuru
Devils who suck blood...
SIGN Vampires
[22:25] Yozuru
Vampires.
[22:27] Hachikuji
Anyway, Araragi-san, from what I saw,
she looked pretty capable.
[22:32] Hachikuji
You'd have to be as good as my
master to be a match for her.

Master,
[00:05] Shinobu
I have something important to discuss with you.
[00:08] Shinobu
Well?
[00:09] Shinobu
Do you have a moment to talk?
[00:11] Koyomi
It can't be later?
[00:13] Koyomi
Can't it wait until I'm done studying?
[00:15] Shinobu
It's actually a rather serious situation,
[00:18] Shinobu
one requiring drastic action.
[00:20] Koyomi
What is it?
[00:23] Koyomi
Very well...
[00:24] Koyomi
I'll listen.
[00:26] Shinobu
Master,
[00:28] Shinobu
according to secret information I've acquired,
[00:32] Shinobu
Mister Donuts is having
SIGN 100-Yen Donut Sale
[00:35] ---
a sale where any donut costs 100 yen!
[00:39] Shinobu
If we don't leave immediately, they'll sell out...
[00:43] Koyomi
Fine, fine.
[00:45] Koyomi
I'll go to buy you some before dinner,
[00:46] ---
so I can get out of the house.
[00:48] Koyomi
You like golden chocolate, right?
[00:50] Shinobu
No.
[00:51] Shinobu
Take me there.
[00:53] Shinobu
I want to choose for myself!
[00:56] Koyomi
It's really sunny out.
[00:57] Koyomi
Will you be okay?
[00:59] Shinobu
I'll just get a nasty sunburn.
[01:01] Shinobu
I'm not really a normal vampire anymore.
[01:05] Shinobu
I won't even need sunscreen,
[01:07] Shinobu
just a hat should suffice.
[01:10] Koyomi
No, I'll let you know when we're at the store.
[01:13] Koyomi
Until then, stay in my shadow.
[01:15] Koyomi
You'd prefer to minimize your
time in the sun, right?
[01:19] Shinobu
Yes. The sun is my enemy.
[01:22] Koyomi
It'll only take thirty minutes or so.
[01:23] Koyomi
Be sure you stay awake.
[01:25] Shinobu
See you soon, then.
[01:26] Shinobu
Bye.
SIGN Episode 10: Tsukihi Phoenix, Part 3
[03:11] Tsukihi
Onii-chan?
[03:12] Tsukihi
Heading out again?
[03:13] Koyomi
Yeah... I am.
[03:16] Tsukihi
Onii-chan, will Karen-chan be
home late again today?
[03:19] Koyomi
I dunno.
[03:21] Tsukihi
I see.
[03:22] Tsukihi
Well, when she's really into something,
[03:24] ---
she stops paying attention
to her surroundings.
[03:27] Koyomi
Why? Did you have something
to discuss with her?
[03:30] Koyomi
Aren't you done with your Fire Sisters stuff?
[03:35] Tsukihi
Yeah, it's really nothing...
[03:39] Tsukihi
But you know, well,
[03:40] Tsukihi
I haven't been spending much
time with her lately.
[03:45] Tsukihi
I'm sure you've already figured this out,
[03:48] Tsukihi
but I'm not as into justice as she is.
[03:55] Tsukihi
I like justice, and I love justice,
[03:58] Tsukihi
but I don't really have any clear
image of it inside me.
[04:02] Tsukihi
You know how Karen-chan says,
[04:03] ---
"My blood of justice won't forgive you!"
and stuff like that?
[04:05] Tsukihi
And "My blood of justice burns"? Like that?
[04:07] Koyomi
She does.
[04:09] Tsukihi
But I've never felt that way before.
[04:12] Tsukihi
She has it within her, and I don't.
[04:18] Tsukihi
The justice I have faith in
[04:21] Tsukihi
is her brand and yours.
[04:25] Tsukihi
If she wasn't so sure about it,
[04:29] ---
I wouldn't believe in something as vague as justice.
[04:33] Tsukihi
In that sense, you're right.
[04:36] Tsukihi
My justice is fake.
[04:38] Tsukihi
The reason I talk about it is because
[04:40] ---
I'm too easily influenced by
the people around me.
[04:43] Tsukihi
If Karen-chan does what she
does for other people,
[04:46] Tsukihi
I do it because of them.
[04:50] Tsukihi
We two have always been
different in that way.
[04:53] Tsukihi
So, Onii-chan...
[04:55] Tsukihi
Lately, I've begun thinking it's time
to put the Fire Sisters to bed.
[05:01] Koyomi
Sounds good to me.
[05:03] Koyomi
Actually, I think you two have
gotten along too well up to this point.
[05:09] Tsukihi
I know it isn't anything that can be helped...
[05:12] Tsukihi
Once she reaches high school,
[05:14] Tsukihi
will she bully me like you do?
[05:17] Koyomi
Don't talk about me like that!
[05:20] Koyomi
I consider myself a helpful,
and reliable, older brother.
[05:25] Tsukihi
Helpful?
[05:27] Tsukihi
You mean like brushing our teeth,
while touching our breasts?
[05:31] Tsukihi
Okay, I've decided.
[05:33] Tsukihi
Once Karen-chan returns,
[05:34] ---
we'll discuss the future of the Fire Sisters!
[05:38] Koyomi
What? So you might split up?
[05:41] Tsukihi
It is possible...
[05:42] Tsukihi
We have creative differences!
[05:44] Tsukihi
If she wants to go at it alone, I won't stop her.
[05:48] Tsukihi
I shall swallow my tears, watching her go!
[05:50] Tsukihi
Come to our farewell party, okay?
[05:52] Tsukihi
I'll invite lots of middle-school girls and stuff.
[05:55] Koyomi
Fine... I'll make the time to go.
[05:59] Tsukihi
So, my helpful brother,
[06:01] Tsukihi
weren't you going to leave?
[06:03] Koyomi
Oh, that's right...
[06:06] Koyomi
Watch the house, okay?
[06:08] Koyomi
I'll be home soon.
[06:10] Koyomi
Need me to pick up anything?
[06:12] Tsukihi
Nope. See you.
[06:14] Koyomi
See me...
[06:16] Koyomi
And get back to your room.
[06:19] Koyomi
I can't open the door with
you here, dressed like that
[06:24] Koyomi
Stop wandering around partially clothed,
is what I'm saying.
[06:28] Koyomi
Don't dress like that.
[06:31] Koyomi
Hey, Tsukihi-chan...
[06:33] Koyomi
I'm gonna take that off.
[06:34] Tsukihi

No!

[06:45] Koyomi
I knew it.
[06:46] Tsukihi
What? What? What?
[06:47] Tsukihi
What's going on?
[06:49] Tsukihi
Why is my brother stripping off my clothes,
[06:51] ---
grabbing my hands, and pushing me down?
[06:53] Koyomi
Um, Tsukihi-chan...
[06:55] Koyomi
Didn't you have a scar here?
[06:58] Koyomi
The scar that should have
been there is gone.
[07:00] Koyomi
The doctors were certain that
[07:02] ---
the scar would never, ever fade, but...
[07:05] Koyomi
Wait. There aren't any
scars on your body...
[07:10] Tsukihi
Scars heal. I'm a human being!
[07:14] Koyomi
Yeah, I guess so.
[07:15] Tsukihi
And just get off me, Onii-chan.
[07:18] Tsukihi
If you wanted to see if the scar was there,
[07:20] ---
you didn't have to grab my hands
and get on top of me.
[07:24] Koyomi
That's... That's true.
[07:29] Tsukihi
Why did you grab my breast,
before getting off me?
[07:32] Koyomi
Just because.
[07:33] Koyomi
It was right in front of me,
so I wondered how it would feel.
[07:36] Tsukihi
That's the only reason?!
[07:37] Koyomi
Yeah, see...
[07:39] Koyomi
Squish squish squish squish.
[07:41] Tsukihi
Don't touch me with your feet!
[07:42] Tsukihi
It isn't making any fun
sound effects like that!
[07:44] Tsukihi
Jeez, Onii-chan, you're touching your
little sisters' body way too much!
[07:47] Koyomi
Um, if someone only heard that line,
[07:49] ---
they'd get some really
strange ideas about me.
[07:51] Tsukihi
Jeez...
[07:52] Tsukihi
Jeez, jeez, jeez!
[07:55] Tsukihi
Why is it that sisters have pure
relationships with their boyfriends,
[07:59] Tsukihi
but are still required to have a physical relationship with their brother?
[08:02] Koyomi
Oh...
[08:03] Koyomi
What was his name?
[08:05] Koyomi
Your boyfriend.
[08:06] Koyomi
Rosokuzawa-kun?
[08:07] Koyomi
You haven't split up yet?
[08:09] Tsukihi
Sorry, but I'm in love.
[08:11] Tsukihi
Karen-chan's boyfriend, Mizudori-kun,
[08:13] ---
hasn't been getting along
with her as well lately.
[08:16] Tsukihi
But I think they're all right, too.
[08:20] Koyomi
Okay, I'm leaving now.
[08:22] Tsukihi
Don't bother coming home!
[08:24] Tsukihi
There's no home for you!

No, I'm coming back...

Inside your heart!
[08:31] Shinobu
Flocky chou?
[08:33] Shinobu

To combine the pon de ring
and the French cruller...
[08:39] Shinobu
Incredible!
[08:41] Shinobu
Old-fashioned!
[08:43] Shinobu
Just looking at it reveals how
delicious it must be.
[08:45] Shinobu
I can tell! I don't even have to eat it.
[08:48] Shinobu
I will, though!
[08:49] Shinobu
And the mere name "tofu donut" entices me...
[08:54] Shinobu
And look at these muffins,
lined up like jewels...
[08:58] Shinobu
Why was the existence of
these muffins hidden from me?
[09:02] Shinobu
Curse them! Unforgivable.
[09:05] Shinobu
However, and there's no need
to even say this,
[09:08] ---
the best part is having all the wonderful

donuts I've consumed so far,

including the golden chocolate,
laid out before me, in such numbers!

Master, can I eat them all?
SIGN Black Scene
[09:21] Koyomi
Of course not!
[09:24] Shinobu
Then what?!
[09:25] ---
I will be forced to select a few for my meal,
[09:28] ---
from the dozens upon dozens set out here?
[09:32] Koyomi
I'll bring you once a month or something.
[09:34] Koyomi
So you can wait.
[09:36] Koyomi
Hmm,
[09:37] Koyomi
I suppose you can pick three to start.
[09:41] Shinobu
Oh, my master...
[09:43] Shinobu
Don't be so foolish.
[09:46] Shinobu
If you're thinking about the future,
[09:48] ---
then why not consider this an investment
[09:51] ---
for getting on my good side?
[09:54] Koyomi
What happens if I get on your good side?
[10:05] Koyomi
Oh, fine... Yeah, yeah.
[10:07] Koyomi
Let's do this...
[10:08] Koyomi
Let's each choose five.
[10:10] Koyomi
Ten total.
[10:11] Koyomi
And we can share.
[10:13] Koyomi
But no muffins and no pies.
[10:15] Koyomi
They aren't part of the 100-yen sale.
[10:19] Shinobu
Very well.
[10:21] Shinobu
I accept.
[10:37] Koyomi
So, Shinobu...
[10:38] Koyomi
I wanted to ask you something.
[10:40] Koyomi
On my way to Kanbaru's place,
and when I was coming back,
[10:44] Koyomi
those two girls who asked me for directions...
[10:46] Koyomi
The older, with the Kyoto accent,
and the younger of the "posed look."
[10:49] Koyomi
What did you think of them?
[10:54] Shinobu
I suppose I could tell you
about the posed look one.
[10:59] Koyomi
What do you mean?
[11:00] Shinobu
She wasn't human.
[11:02] Shinobu
She was a supernatural creature.
[11:03] Shinobu
She took on human form,
[11:06] Shinobu
but like me, she isn't the age she appears.
[11:09] Shinobu
And Ononoki Yotsugi is, of course, an alias.
SIGN Ononoki Yotsugi
[11:13] Koyomi
I was wondering about her
first name, Yotsugi.
SIGN Kagenui Yodzuru
[11:17] Koyomi
Her first name sounds
just like that Kagenui girl.
[11:21] Shinobu
She's probably using the name to bind her!
[11:25] Shinobu
Just like I'm bound by that brat
in the Hawaiian shirt.
SIGN Oshino Meme
SIGN Oshino Shinobu
[11:30] Shinobu
Basically, Ononoki Yotsugi is
Kagenui Yodzuru's familiar.
[11:34] Koyomi
Familiar?
[11:36] Shinobu
That's what you'd call it in your culture.
[11:39] Shinobu
A shikigami, perhaps?
[11:43] Koyomi
So, of the two,
[11:44] Koyomi
Kagenui is one of those specialists...
[11:48] Shinobu
I'm not going to share information
about a respectable person.
[11:52] Shinobu
I don't really want you to use me as a tool.
[11:58] Shinobu
You won't be able to get me to talk
[12:00] Shinobu
just by buying me donuts.
[12:02] Shinobu
I'm not that cheap a woman.
[12:04] Shinobu
I'm not your servant or your shikigami.
[12:08] Shinobu
If you really insist on knowing,
[12:11] ---
why not ask the man sitting
in the seat over there?
[12:26] Koyomi
Kaiki-san,
[12:27] Koyomi
after all that grandstanding when you left,
[12:31] Koyomi
why are you here, eating donuts?
[12:33] Kaiki
Some minor business.
[12:35] Kaiki
Just unpleasant, minor business.
[12:38] Kaiki
Araragi, it's nothing for you
to concern yourself over.
[12:41] Kaiki
I'll be gone shortly.
[12:43] Koyomi
I'd prefer if you left now.
[12:46] Kaiki
Don't be in such a hurry.
[12:48] Kaiki
I didn't ever want to see you again, either.
[12:52] Kaiki
Because of you, I lost a lot of money.
[12:57] Koyomi
You do know Kagenui Yodzuru
and Ononoki Yotsugi, right?
[13:00] Kaiki
You want to know about them? I'll tell you.
[13:02] Kaiki
Pay up.
[13:04] Koyomi
Fine...
[13:06] Koyomi
How much do I need to pay,
for you to tell me?
[13:09] Karen
Let me see.
[13:11] Karen
That will do.
[13:13] Karen
Araragi.
[13:14] Karen
I'll allow you to pay with this
meager change, as a gift
[13:18] ---
to honor your relationship
with Senjougahara.
[13:21] Koyomi
Tell me...
[13:23] Koyomi
Kagenui Yodzuru and Ononoki Yotsugi!
[13:25] Karen
They are specialists...
[13:27] Karen
Ghost busters like me.
[13:29] Karen
Of course, while I'm a fake, they're real.
[13:34] Karen
I'm a con man, and they are onmyouji.
[13:37] Koyomi
Onmyouji?
[13:42] Karen
Naturally, I said "they."
[13:45] Karen
But to be precise, Kagenui is the onmyouji,
[13:47] ---
and Ononoki is her shikigami.
[13:51] Koyomi
You know them?
[13:52] Karen
Why would you think so?
[13:53] Koyomi
Well, the way you talked.
[13:56] Koyomi
Just the way you spoke implied it.
[13:59] Karen
I merely know their names.
[14:01] Karen
Kagenui is rather famous in the business.
[14:06] Karen
Kagenui Yodzuru and Ononoki Yotsugi,
[14:08] Karen
modern-day onmyouji.
[14:11] Karen
Hey, Araragi,
[14:13] Karen
they're specialists, but they
specialize in a very limited field.
[14:17] Karen
That two-person cell specializes
[14:19] Karen
in immortal creatures.
[14:26] Koyomi
An onmyouji specializing
in immortal monsters?
[14:29] Koyomi
Jeez...
[14:30] Koyomi
Then they're probably after you and me.
[14:34] Shinobu
You think we're their targets?
[14:37] Shinobu
But perhaps we are not, my master.
[14:40] Shinobu
I've eaten many immortal creatures.
[14:43] Shinobu
I kill the immortal, too.
[14:45] Shinobu
Timed Light

[14:46] Shinobu

[14:46] Shinobu
And the supernatural isn't immortal.
[14:47] Shinobu
Timed Light

[14:48] Shinobu
It isn't even alive.
[14:51] Koyomi
Yeah...
[14:52] Koyomi
Well, I guess if you're not living, you can't die.
[14:55] Koyomi
So I guess anything supernatural is immortal.
[14:59] Koyomi
But strict definitions aside,
[15:02] Koyomi
when you say that they might
not be after us, Shinobu,
[15:05] ---
does that mean there are
vampires in this city besides us?
[15:12] Shinobu
It doesn't have to be vampires.
[15:15] Shinobu
It wouldn't be strange.
[15:17] Shinobu
No.
[15:18] Shinobu
I suppose it would.
[15:20] Koyomi
Come to think of it,
[15:22] Koyomi
even just among those I know,
[15:24] ---
many people have supernatural
creatures inside them.
[15:29] Koyomi
Like Kanbaru Suruga, with a
monkey in her left hand.
[15:32] Koyomi
Or Hanekawa Tsubasa,
with a cat inside her mind.
[15:38] Koyomi
So it wouldn't be particularly odd
if there were others
[15:41] ---
housing creatures that I don't know about.
[15:45] Koyomi
Kagenui-san and Ononoki-chan.
[15:47] Koyomi

First, I should thank you.

I followed the directions you gave me,
[16:18] ---
and it led me to the Eikou Cram School.
[16:20] Yozuru
And you told Yotsugi, as well.
[16:23] Koyomi
Um, I'm sorry...
[16:25] Koyomi
I'd like to make something clear.
[16:29] Koyomi
You came to this city to exterminate us, right?
[16:35] Koyomi
You've come to kill her, an immortal
creature not of this world,
[16:38] ---
along with me, her servant, yes?
[16:42] Koyomi
Both of you asking me for
directions was no coincidence.
[16:45] Koyomi
You were investigating me.
[16:50] Koyomi

And our industry hardly has the free time
[17:14] ---

with a few lingering aftereffects.
[17:21] Koyomi
Of course, that's thanks to

[19:06] Yozuru
I see.
[19:07] Yozuru
Right, your name is Araragi, too.

I thought it was just a coincidence.
[19:12] Yozuru
I understand.

Then that must have been a shock for you.

[19:41] Yozuru
Your sister is possessed by an immortal bird.

That was never truly your sister.

But whether that's true for you,
is it true for the girl?

I doubt she's strong enough

And if I drain her dry,

I think I could handle you...
[20:45] Koyomi
A bluff!
[20:46] Shinobu
I'm not going to interfere with you.
[20:50] Shinobu
But I shall request that you
withdraw for now.
[20:53] Shinobu
You could do that for me, couldn't you?

Time isn't an important factor for you.
[21:01] Yozuru
Fine, then.
[21:02] Yozuru
As you say, we'll leave now.

Let's go.

She isn't your real sister.

Not my real sister...
[21:21] Koyomi
A fake sister?
[21:24] Koyomi
I'm sure the devil boy

needs time to get this straight in his head.
[21:28] Koyomi
We'll give you time, out of respect for the legendary vampire.
[21:33] Koyomi
We'll pretend to fall for your bluff,
[21:36] Koyomi
so prepare yourself in any way you like.
[21:42] Koyomi
We'll return tomorrow.
[21:43] Koyomi
Be sure everything has been handled by then.
[21:46] Koyomi
Running won't help.
[21:48] Koyomi
To be clear, neither of us is as easy
to deal with as Oshino-kun.
[21:51] Koyomi
We won't let any prey escape.
[21:54] Koyomi
And if you try to stop us,
[21:55] Koyomi
we'll ignore the ruling that
decided you were harmless,
[21:57] Koyomi
and we'll eliminate you, too.
[22:00] Koyomi
Goodbye.
[22:01] Koyomi
Why...
[22:02] Koyomi
Why are you after Tsukihi-chan?
[22:06] Koyomi
There's no reason for you to...
[22:09] Yozuru
There is.
[22:10] Yozuru
She's a supernatural creature...
[22:13] Yozuru
A monstrous fake that snuck
into a human family,
[22:16] Yozuru
pretended to be human,
[22:18] Yozuru
and deceived humans!
[22:20] Yozuru
We call that evil.
[22:26] Yozuru
We're the good guys...
[22:29] Yozuru
So we cannot ignore a con like that.
[22:33] Yozuru
We can't allow it.

[00:02] Suruga
The Dying Bird...
[00:03] Suruga
A type of supernatural cuckoo.
[00:06] Suruga
The cuckoo from the poem:
[00:08] ---
"I see green leaves and hear
the mountain cuckoo's cry,
[00:10] ---
as I eat the first tuna of the year."
[00:12] Suruga
They lied when they said it was a phoenix.
[00:16] Suruga
This bird habitually plants its
eggs in other birds' nests.
[00:20] Suruga
It waits for the mother bird of
another species to leave,
[00:24] Suruga
and then pushes those eggs out
of the nest, onto the ground.
[00:27] Suruga
Then it lays its own eggs,
[00:31] ---
for the mother bird to warm and hatch.
[00:36] Suruga
The supernatural cuckoo,
[00:38] ---
the Dying Bird, exhibits the same behavior.
[00:42] Suruga
It does the same thing.
[00:44] Suruga
It plants its egg in a human nest.
[00:47] Suruga
Inside the womb of a pregnant mother,
[00:50] ---
it reincarnates itself like a phoenix,
the immortal bird.
[00:54] Suruga
The common legend of the phoenix
[00:57] ---
describes the bird, at its life's end,
[01:00] Suruga
throwing itself into the flames,
[01:06] ---
so it can be reborn.
[01:09] Suruga
In this case, the flame is a human mother.
[01:13] Suruga
To be precise, the Dying Bird's victim
[01:17] ---
is not your sister,
[01:19] ---
but is, instead, your mother.
[01:22] Suruga
Over ten years ago,
[01:25] Suruga
your mother carried a monster in her womb.

SIGN Womb
[01:29] Koyomi
And a year later, Araragi Tsukihi was born.

The Dying Bird was reborn.
[01:37] Suruga
In the larger scheme, it's a harmless creature.
[01:41] Suruga
It never hurts anyone.
[01:43] Suruga
But it is a fake.
[01:46] Suruga
And it is immortal.
[01:50] Suruga
Any wound heals instantly.
[01:52] Suruga
Any illness vanishes.
[01:54] Suruga
It lives out its lifespan.
[01:56] Suruga
And then it dies, and is reborn.
[01:59] Suruga
It has repeated this cycle up to the modern era.
[02:03] Suruga
Just like a cuckoo...

Hey, Karen-chan.

Okay, bye.

While I'm gone, keep an eye out.

Leave it to me.

Karen-chan does whatever her brother says.
[06:29] Suruga
You're going, my master?
[06:33] Koyomi
Yes, I am.
[06:34] Suruga
Where? To do what?
[06:36] Koyomi
To them. To fight.
[06:38] Suruga
Why?
[06:40] Koyomi
For my sister.
[06:41] Suruga
What will that gain you?
[06:44] Koyomi
Nothing at all.
[06:46] Koyomi
I'll only waste some time.
[06:49] Suruga
I see...
[06:50] Suruga
Tsukihi, was it?
[06:53] Suruga
Your miniscule sister.
[06:56] Koyomi
Yeah...
[06:58] Koyomi
What? You learned her name?
[07:01] Koyomi
It's rare for you to learn a human's name.
[07:04] Suruga
After hearing you scream it so many times...
[07:07] Suruga
And it's a good name.
[07:09] Koyomi
A good name?
[07:11] Koyomi
Is it?
[07:12] Suruga
I like the "tsuki," from "moon," part.
[07:14] Suruga
The sun is my enemy,
[07:16] Suruga
but the moon has been quite good to me.
[07:19] Suruga
And so,

[16:37] Koyomi
Not "other people."
[16:40] Koyomi

[17:07] Koyomi
If you say that being a fake is evil,
[17:10] Koyomi
then I will shoulder the burden of that evil.
[17:13] Koyomi

[17:16] Koyomi
then I'm fine with being evil.

[17:23] Tsukihi
Onii-chan!
[17:24] Koyomi
As long as she calls me that,
[17:28] Koyomi
it's enough for me...
[17:32] Yozuru
The theory of fundamental evil?
[17:34] Yozuru
As a high school student, you've learned
the theory of fundamental good, right?
[17:37] Yozuru
It was a concept developed by
Chinese philosopher Mencius.
[17:41] Yozuru
He said that humans are born
fundamentally good.
[17:44] Yozuru
That's the one.
[17:46] Koyomi
Um...
[17:47] Yozuru
If the theory of fundamental good is an ideal,
[17:50] Yozuru
the theory of fundamental evil is simple realism.
[17:51] Yozuru
Desire lies at the core of human nature.
[17:54] Yozuru
And humans are ruled by these desires.
[17:57] Yozuru
That was the less tactful theory of Xun Zi.
[18:00] Yozuru
He claimed that humans are born evil.
[18:04] Koyomi
Born
[18:06] Koyomi
evil?
[18:07] Yozuru
Yes.
[18:08] Yozuru
Thus, if a person does good,
[18:11] ---
that is not their true self, but a lie.
[18:15] Yozuru
That was his theory.
[18:16] Yozuru
It would be a lie, a fake,
[18:19] Yozuru
and due only to hypocrisy...
[18:21] Koyomi
Hypocrisy.
[18:22] Yozuru
Artificial. And thus,
by definition, deliberate.
[18:25] Yozuru
He said all good is thereby
hypocrisy, and therefore,
[18:30] Yozuru
it constitutes a deliberate attempt to be good.
[18:34] Yozuru
It was a game that Kaiki-kun
often used to discuss...
[18:38] Yozuru
Given the real thing,
and an indistinguishable fake,
[18:43] ---
which is worth more?
[18:46] Koyomi
The real thing and a fake...
[18:49] Yozuru
Naturally, my response was that
[18:51] Yozuru
the real thing was worth more.
[18:54] Yozuru
Oshino-kun asserted that they
had equal value, though.
[18:58] Yozuru
But here is Kaiki-kun's argument:
[19:01] Yozuru
The fake is of far greater value.
[19:05] Yozuru
In its deliberate attempt to be real,
[19:08] ---
it's more real than the real thing.
[19:13] Yozuru
Kaiki-kun's such a petty villain,
[19:16] ---
but he does say some neat things.
[19:19] Yozuru
I suppose you could say
[19:20] Yozuru
that's the lesson for us here.
[19:25] Yozuru
It took us ten years to learn, though.
[19:30] Yozuru
We're leaving.
[19:31] Yozuru
We lose.

[20:08] Koyomi
We weren't serious?
[20:09] Yozuru
I never sensed a desire to kill.
[20:12] Yozuru
I don't think you were holding back.
[20:14] Yozuru
But to be honest, it wasn't much fun for me.
[20:18] Koyomi
If you didn't think I wanted to kill you,
[20:21] Koyomi
that's because you treated me like
a human being, Kagenui-san.
[20:27] Koyomi
You said we both had a human
and a monster, right?
[20:31] Koyomi
Since I became this way, only Oshino
referred to me as a human being.
[20:37] Koyomi
So I'm the one who wasn't really into it.
[20:40] Koyomi
I felt weird, and I didn't want to fight.
[20:43] Koyomi
It's like when I was facing that
old guy in the Hawaiian shirt.
[20:48] Yozuru
I suppose I've ended up acting
like Oshino-kun here.
[20:53] Yozuru
I kind of regret it...
[20:56] Yozuru
Pathetic.
[20:57] Yozuru
